YAMAHA PM5D-RH - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING - 1

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Power supply/Power cord

  • Only use the voltage specified as correct for the device. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the device.
  • Use only the specified power supply (PW800W or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha).
  • (DSP5D only) Use only the included power cord.
    If you intend to use the device in an area other than in the one you purchased, the included power cord may not be compatible. Please check with your Yamaha dealer.
  • Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.
  • (DSP5D only) Be sure to connect to an appropriate outlet with a protective grounding connection. Improper grounding can result in electrical shock.

Do not open

  • Do not open the device or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The device contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

Water warning

  • Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the device, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
  • Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

If you notice any abnormality

  • If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the device, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
  • If this device or power supply should be dropped or damaged, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - If you notice any abnormality - 1

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the device or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Power supply/Power cord

  • Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
  • When removing the electric plug from the device or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.
  • Turn the PM5D ON/OFF using only the power supply PW800W POWER switch. Turning the PM5D ON/OFF by plugging or unplugging the power cord, using a switch on a power tap, a breaker switch, or similar external means can result in damage.

Location

  • When transporting or moving the device, always use four or more people (PM5D), two or more people (DSP5D). Attempting to lift the device by yourself may damage your back, result in other injury, or cause damage to the device itself.
  • Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.

  • When setting up the DSP5D, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

  • If the DSP5D is to be mounted in an EIA-standard rack, leave the back of the rack open and make sure that it is at least 10cm away from walls or surfaces. Also, if the DSP5D is to be mounted with devices that tend to generate heat, such as power amplifiers, be sure to keep an adequate gap between the DSP5D and the heat-generating devices or install ventilation panels to prevent high temperatures from developing inside the DSP5D. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), or even fire.
  • Do not use the DSP5D in a confined, poorly-ventilated location. If the DSP5D is to be used in a small space other than an EIA-standard rack, make sure that there is adequate space between the device and surrounding walls or other devices: at least 10cm behind and 10cm above. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), or even fire.

  • Avoid setting all equalizer controls and faders to their maximum. Depending on the condition of the connected devices, doing so may cause feedback and may damage the speakers.

  • Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.
  • Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
  • Do not block the vents. This device has ventilation holes at the front and rear to prevent the internal temperature from becoming too high. In particular, do not place the device on its side or upside down. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), or even fire.
  • Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Doing so may result in noise, both in the device itself and in the TV or radio next to it.

Connections

  • Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the power for all devices. Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all volume levels to minimum.

Maintenance

  • Remove the power plug from the AC outlet when cleaning the device.
  • During extreme changes in temperature or humidity, condensation may occur and water may collect on the surface of the device. If water is left, the wooden parts may absorb the water and be damaged. Make sure to wipe any water off immediately with a soft cloth.

Handling caution

  • When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on the power amplifier LAST, to avoid speaker damage. When turning the power off, the power amplifier should be turned off FIRST for the same reason.
  • Condensation can occur in the device due to rapid, drastic changes in ambient temperature—when the device is moved from one location to another, or air conditioning is turned on or off, for example. Using the device while condensation is present can cause damage. If there is reason to believe that condensation might have occurred, leave the device for several hours without turning on the power until the condensation has completely dried out.
  • Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or openings on the device (vents, etc.).
  • Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.) into any gaps or openings on the device (vents, etc.) If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
  • (DSP5D only) Do not apply oil, grease, or contact cleaner to the faders. Doing so may cause problems with electrical contact or fader motion.
  • Do not use the headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
  • Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy objects on it, and avoid use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

Backup battery

  • This device has a built-in backup battery. When you unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, the internal data of current scene (see page 87) is retained.

However, if the backup battery fully discharges, this data will be lost. When the backup battery is running low in the system using PM5D or PM5D/DSP5D Editor, each LCD display indicates "Low Battery!" during operation or "NO BATTERY!" when starting up the system (the BATTERY field also indicates "LOW" or "NO BATTERY" in the PREFERENCE2 screen).

When using only the DSP5D, the message such as "Low Battery!" cannot be displayed because the DSP5D itself has no LCD display. When the DSP5D is cascade-connected to the PM5D or online with the DSP5D Editor, these messages will be displayed. In this case, have qualified Yamaha service personnel replace the backup battery.

XLR-type connectors are wired as follows (IEC60268 standard): pin 1: ground, pin 2: hot (+), and pin 3: cold (-).

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the device, or data that is lost or destroyed.

Always turn the power off when the device is not in use.

The performance of components with moving contacts, such as switches, volume controls, and connectors, deteriorates over time. Consult qualified Yamaha service personnel about replacing defective components.

Operating section

1 Introduction

Thank you

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha PM5D digital mixing console and/or Yamaha DSP5D digital mixing system. In order to take full advantage of the PM5D/DSP5D's superior functionality and enjoy years of trouble-free use, please read this manual before you begin using the product. After you have read the manual, keep it in a safe place.

An overview of the PM5D system

The PM5D is an expandable digital mixing console with the following features.

Full digital SR mixing system

The PM5D is a full-digital SR mixing console that takes advantage of cutting-edge digital audio processing technology. 24-bit linear AD/DA converters are used to deliver up to 110dB of dynamic range and amazing sound quality. As input channels, it provides 48 monaural channels, four stereo channels, and four stereo channels for effect return. As output channels, it provides 24 MIX channels, eight MATRIX channels, and two STEREO channels. The PM5D can be used in a wide range of applications. You can assign desired channels to be controlled by the eight DCA faders on the panel, and use them as group faders.

PM5D model and PM5D-RH model

In addition to the standard PM5D model that provides manual control of the head amp for each input, the PM5D-RH model is also available, providing programmable control of head amp input sensitivity and phantom power settings. You can choose the model appropriate for your situation and budget.

Cutting-edge user interface

For the input channels and STEREO A/B channels, dedicated channel strips are provided where you can operate the fader, pan, cue, and on/off controls. For MIX channels and MATRIX channels, encoders allow you to control the send level and master level. The PM5D allows quick and intuitive operation just as on an analog mixer. In addition, you can use the SELECTED CHANNEL section to manually control the principal parameters (delay, EQ, gate, compressor) of the desired channel.

Eight effect modules / Twelve graphic EQ modules

Eight high-quality multi-effect modules are built in. Effects such as reverb, delay, multiband compressor, and various modulation effects can be routed via internal buses or inserted into the desired channel. 31-band graphic EQ (alternatively, 8-band parametric EQ) can also be inserted into any channel or any output.

Add-On effects provided as standard

As effect types, the channel strip package (COMP276/276S, COMP260/260S, EQ601), master strip package (OPEN DECK), and reverb package (REV-X) are provided as standard.

Scene memories and libraries

Mix parameters and internal effect settings can be stored in memory as up to 500 scenes for immediate recall. Effects, input/output patching, input channel/output channel settings, internal head amp (PM5D-RH model only) or external head amp settings can be stored in various libraries, independently of scenes.

Digital cascade connection

Up to four PM5D units, or one PM5D and one Yamaha DM2000/02R96 unit, can be cascade-connected to share buses in the digital domain. In particular when PM5D units are cascaded together, operations such as scene saving and recall can also be linked. DME64N can also be used as inserts or as extended signal processors via a cascade connection.

Surround panning

Surround pan functionality allows multi-channel playback systems to be used, letting you place the signal of an input channel in two-dimensional space, or move the sound image forward/backward and left/right. 3-1ch, 5.1ch, and 6.1ch surround modes are available.

I/O card expansion

The rear panel provides four slots in which separately sold mini-YGDAI cards can be installed. AD cards, DA cards, or digital I/O cards can be installed in these slots to add inputs and outputs.

Expansion via the DSP5D

A maximum of two DSP5D digital mixing systems can be cascade-connected to a PM5D to expand the inputs and outputs. You can also connect a Yamaha DCU5D digital cabling unit between the PM5D and DSP5D, and locate the DSP5D remotely.

Differences between the PM5D model and the PM5D-RH model

The PM5D is available as the standard PM5D model or as the PM5D-RH model which allows internal head amp settings to be programmed. These models differ as follows.

PM5D model

  • Head amp adjustments (input sensitivity settings, phantom power (+48V) on/off) for the analog inputs (INPUT jacks 1-48, ST IN jacks 1-4) are performed manually, using the controls of the top panel.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - PM5D model - 1

  • Insert jacks (INSERT IN/OUT jacks) for the monaural analog inputs (INPUT jacks 1-48) are provided on the rear panel, allowing external effect processors to be inserted in the analog domain.
    ST IN jacks 1-4 are only for line level.
  • There is no +48V MASTER switch.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - PM5D model - 2

PM5D-RH model

  • Head amp adjustments (input sensitivity settings, phantom power (+48V) on/off) for the analog inputs are controlled from within the screen via software. For this reason, the top panel does not have head amp controls; instead, LEDs showing the presence or absence of a signal are provided. Head amp settings can be saved in a library and recalled at any time.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - PM5D-RH model - 1

  • Insert jacks for the analog inputs are not provided.
  • ST IN jacks 1-4 support mic levels through line levels. Phantom power can also be supplied to ST IN jacks 1-4.
  • The +48V MASTER switch turns all phantom power (+48V) on/off.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - PM5D-RH model - 2

About the channel structure of the PM5D

The PM5D provides the following input channels and output channels.

□ Input channels

This section processes input signals and sends them to the STEREO bus or MIX buses. There are three types of input channel, as follows.

Input channels 1-48

These channels are used to process monaural signals. By default, the input signals from the monaural analog input jacks (INPUT jacks 1-48) are assigned to these channels.

STIN channels 1-4

These channels are used to process stereo signals. By default, the input signals from the stereo analog input jacks (ST IN jacks 1-4) are assigned to these channels.

FX RTN channels 1-4

These channels are used mainly to process the return signals (stereo) from the internal effects. By default, the left/right output channels of internal effects 1 through 4 are assigned to these channels.

Hint

Signal assignments to the input channels can be changed as desired.

About the DSP5D

The DSP5D is a digital signal processing (DSP) system expanding the inputs and outputs of the PM5D.

  • Its audio processing capability is equivalent to that of the PM5D-RH. As analog audio input/output jacks, it provides INPUT jacks 1-48, ST IN jacks 1-4, and OMNI OUT jacks 1-24.
  • Up to two DSP5D units can be cascade-connected to one PM5D. By connecting it with DSP5D units, the PM5D system can be expanded to a maximum of 168 channels of input (144 channels + 12 ST).
  • By switching the control target on the PM5D, the DSP5D can be seamlessly controlled in the same way as the PM5D itself.
  • You can use DSP5D Editor application software to remotely control and edit the parameters of the DSP5D. Only Windows computers are supported.
  • The DSP5D can be connected to a Yamaha DCU5D digital cabling unit and placed on stage, and operated remotely from the PM5D.
  • The front panel provides two slots in which you can install separately sold mini-YGDAI cards to add inputs and outputs in a variety of digital formats.

Output channels

This section mixes the signals sent from input channels etc., and sends them to the corresponding output jacks or output buses. There are three types of output channel, as follows.

  • MIX channels 1-24
    These channels process signals sent from input channels to MIX buses. In the initial state, output signals are assigned to MIX OUT jacks 1-24. These channels are used mainly for foldback or as sends to external effects. The signals of MIX channels 1-24 can also be sent to the STEREO bus or MATRIX buses.
  • MATRIX channels 1-8
    These process the signals sent from MIX channels or STEREO A/B channels to MATRIX buses, and output them from the MATRIX OUT jacks. This allows MIX channels or STEREO A/B channels to be mixed at the desired balance for output.
    STEREO A/B channels
    These process the signals sent from input channels or MIX channels, and output them to STEREO OUT jacks A/B. These channels are used as the main stereo outputs. Normally, the same signal is sent from the STEREO A and B channels. However, it is also possible to use the STEREO B channel as the center channel for three-channel L/C/R playback.

Differences with the PM5D

- Connectors and interfaces not found on the DSP5D

  • INSERT IN/OUT jacks, MIX OUT jacks, LAMP jacks, MONITOR OUT jacks, CUE OUT jacks, STEREO OUT A/B jacks, MATRIX OUT jacks, 2TR IN ANALOG jacks, TIME CODE INPUT jack, USB TO HOST connector, GPI connector, RS422 REMOTE connector, HA REMOTE connector, MIDI IN/THRU/OUT connectors, 2TR OUT DIGITAL jack, 2TR IN DIGITAL jack, SLOT 3-4, MEMORY CARD slot, MOUSE connector, KEYBOARD connector, PHONES jack
  • Controllers such as faders, display devices such as meters. LCD display, +48V MASTER switch (PM5DRH), 75Ω ON/OFF switch

- Connectors and interfaces found only the DSP5D

  • OMNI OUT jacks, CASCADE IN/OUT RJ-45 connectors, NETWORK connector, AC IN connector
  • POWER switch, mode switch, FAN switch

About the connectors: Since the DSP5D does not have the functionality for the connectors with which DSP5D is not equipped, these functions and connectors are not shown in the screen of the PM5D or DSP5D Editor.

About the interface: Since the DSP5D does not have controllers such as faders or the LCD display, it is operated from the PM5D or DSP5D Editor.

Note

  • The explanations in chapter 5 and following of this Owner's Manual are based on the functionality and operating procedures of the PM5D. Supplementary explanations regarding the DSP5D are added only in cases where there is a significant difference in functionality or operating procedure. However, in cases where it is obvious that the above-described differences would make clear differences in operation or in the on-screen display, explanations for the DSP5D will be omitted.
  • There are some differences between the PM5D and DSP5D in the I/O cards that are supported. For the most recent information regarding I/O cards, refer to the following Yamaha website. http://www.yamahaaproudio.com/

□ Connection to a computer

The PM5D can be connected to a computer via a USB cable from its USB TO HOST connector, but the DSP5D can be connected to a computer via an Ethernet CAT5 cable from its NETWORK connector.

Regarding cascade connections between the PM5D and DSP5D

By bi-directionally cascade-connecting the PM5D and DSP5D, you can share MIX buses 1-24, STEREO A/B buses, and CUE buses.

For details on cascade connections, refer to p.153.

Note

  • Cascade connection with the DSP5D is possible only for PM5D V2.0 or later. If you're using earlier version than V2.0, you will need to upgrade to PM5D V2.0 or later. You can download the most recent firmware from the following Yamaha website. http://www.yamahaaproaudio.com/
  • Connectors and interfaces not found on the DSP5D cannot be controlled from the PM5D. For example, the MONITOR [LEVEL] and MONITOR [PHONES] knobs found on the PM5D's top panel are always operated at the level of the PM5D.

□ Controlling the DSP5D

  • As the target of control from the PM5D's panel and screen, you can recall machine #1 (PM5D), machine #2

(first DSP5D), or machine #3 (second DSP5D) as desired. For details on operation, refer to p.153.

  • Functions assigned to the user-defined keys or the FADER MODE section can be used to select the DSP5D as the target machine to be operated (p.148, 149). Operations can be performed from the panel of the PM5D itself or from DSP5D Editor connected to the DSP5D.

Operation when cascade-connected

Output channels

In general, operations for the output channels of cascade-connected buses will be linked between machines. (You can also specify that they not be linked.) This means that you can operate the system as if it were a single console with an expanded number of inputs. However, since the inserts to output channels will also be duplicated, inserted GEQ modules and effects may also be consumed in duplicate or triplicate. (Separate GEQ modules or effects are inserted into the linked buses on each machine.)

- Scene memories and libraries

Scene memory and library data is stored on each machine. When a scene or a library associated with a scene is stored or recalled, the same scene/library number will be stored/recalled on all machines. When the cascade-connection becomes active, the PM5D's library data not associated with a scene will be sent to each DSP5D to synchronize the libraries. The data on cascade-connected machines can also be saved together to a memory card.

- Effects

The DSP5D provides GEQ modules and effects that are equivalent to those on the PM5D, but since the connections between machines are bus cascade connections, inserts into input channels are limited to being within each machine.

DCA groups / Mute groups

These will operate in tandem for cascade-connected PM5D/DSP5D machines. (p.156)

- CH JOB function

Channel copy operations between the PM5D/DSP5D can be performed from the PM5D front panel. However, channels can be moved using the INPUT VIEW function only within each machine. (p.274, 314)

About PM5D Editor and DSP5D Editor

These programs are application software for operating the PM5D/DSP5D's functionality from a computer. You can use this software to remotely control and edit the parameters of the PM5D/DSP5D.

The USB-MIDI driver (for the PM5D) or DME-N Network driver (for the DSP5D) required for connection with a computer, as well as the PM5D/DSP5D editor, can be downloaded from the following Yamaha website.

http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/

Note

DSP5D Editor supports only Windows computers.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 1

Firmware versions

You can download the most recent firmware from the following Yamaha website.

http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/

For either the PM5D or the DSP5D, you can check the firmware version in the UTILITY function PREFERENCE 2 screen

( p.207)

Major new functionality in PM5D firmware V2.0

The major new functionality and improvements that were added in conjunction with the upgrade to firmware V2.0 are as follows.

Basic functionality and panel operations

  • You can now control the DSP5D from the PM5D's panel. (→ p.153)
  • On/off operations of the channel selected in the FADER MODE section can now be operated from the DCA [MUTE] key.
  • Even if the FADER [FLIP] key is on, you can now use the encoders to control the panning of the signal sent to the MIX buses, the head amp gain, or the attenuators. (p.49)
  • If there is no vacant library number when you store the selected scene as NEW, it will now be impossible to save the scene; this prevents an existing library item from being overwritten.
  • Remote control of the DME64N/24N (firmware V2.0 and later) is now faster. In particular, operation is faster when connected via an MY16-C or MY16-CII card (supported from V1.2).
  • As parameters that can be operated in the screen, MONITOR LEVEL and CUE LEVEL have been added. You can now assign these to the faders of the DCA strip so that the monitor or cue levels can be adjusted. (p.149)

□ EFFECT functions

  • Add-On Effects (COMP276/276S, COMP260/260S, EQ601, OPEN DECK) and DE-ESSER have been added.
  • A DSP CONFIGURATION option has been added to the EFFECT ASSIGN screen and to the GEQ function GEQ ASSIGN screen, allowing internal effects 1-8 to be used as graphic EQ or parametric EQ. (p.168, 173)
  • When the panel [SEL] key is pressed in the EFFECT PARAM screen, or when a [SEL] key is turned on via a linking setting, the effect module inserted in that channel will automatically be selected.
  • If you've used the tap tempo function to specify the tempo in the EFFECT PARAM screen and then edited the DELAY parameter, the tempo will now stay unchanged.

GEQ functions

  • Options have been added to the GEQ PARAM screen, allowing you to switch a graphic EQ to a parametric EQ. (→ p.170)
  • Not only when the panel [SEL] key is pressed in the GEQ PARAM screen but also when a [SEL] key is turned on via a linking setting, the GEQ module inserted in that channel will automatically be selected.

  • When you insert a GEQ in the GEQ PARAM screen, insert-in will automatically be turned on for that channel, and will be automatically turned off when you remove the GEQ.

SCENE functions

  • In the SCENE screen, you can now specify "read-only" scenes that will not be overwritten when you load scenes from a memory card. (p.175)
  • In the SCENE screen, a DELAY field has been added, allowing you to specify the timing of the program change or MIDI events that are transmitted when the scene is recalled. (p.175)
  • In the SELECTIVE RECALL screen and the RECALL SAFE screen, the ON parameter has been added as a channel parameter that can be included in or excluded from recall operations. (p.180, 182)
  • In the SELECTIVE RECALL screen and RECALL SAFE screen, separately from the conventional Recall Safe functionality, an OUTPUT ISOLATION field has been added, so that output channels and parameters to be excluded from recall operations can be stored in SETUP memory (which is not affected by memory card load operations). ( p.180, 182)

SYS/W.CLOCK functions

  • In the MIXER SETUP screen, a VIRTUAL SOUND-CHECK button has been added, allowing you to temporarily switch the input signals without affecting the scene memory (input patching). For example, this allows you to perform a sound check using prerecorded material played back by a DAW connected to a slot, instead of the analog input material received via the INPUT jacks. (p.221)
  • In the OUTPUT ATT PORT screen, a (phase) button has been added, allowing you to switch the phase between normal and reverse for each output channel or I/O channel output port.

□ UTILITY functions

  • In the PREFERENCE 1 screen, a DCA MUTE TARGET option has been added, allowing you to specify that the DCA [MUTE] key will mute the send to the MIX bus. (→ p.205)
  • In the PREFERENCE 1 screen, an ATT OPERATION ON PANEL option has been added, allowing you to prevent the panel encoders from operating the attenuators. (→ p.206)
  • In the PREFERENCE 1 screen, a MIX SEL/ENCODER MODE LINK option has been added, allowing you to

link selection of MIX channels with selection of MIX SEND SELECT keys. ( p.206)

  • In the USER DEFINE screen, functions such as DSP5D CONTROL and ENCODER MODE KEY have been added to the functions that can be assigned to user-defined keys. (p.208)
  • In the FADER ASSIGN screen, options have been added, allowing you to use the STEREO/DCA strip section to control the monitor/cue level and on/off status. (p.217)
  • In the FADER ASSIGN screen, you can now assign the desired channels of the DSP5D as well. (→ p.217)
  • In the SECURITY screen, a LOAD LOCK function has been added, allowing you to disable loading for each type of file. (p.218)
  • In the SECURITY screen, a RECALL LOCK option has been added, allowing you to lock parameters so that they will not be changed when a scene or library is recalled. (p.218)

Input/output functions

  • In the OUTPUT PATCH function OUTPUT PATCH screen, you can now change the patching of output channels to MIX OUT jacks 1-24. (p.243)

  • In the OUTPUT PATCH function INSERT POINT screen and the INPUT PATCH function INSERT/DIRECT OUT POINT screen, a SET ALL button and CLEAR ALL button have been added, allowing you to turn all channels on/off in a single operation. (p.246, 281)

  • In the OUTPUT PATCH function, a NAME screen has been added, allowing you to assign names to output channels for display in various screens (supported from V1.2). ( p.247)
  • In the INPUT VIEW function CH JOB screen, channel settings can now be moved as well as copied. (p.314)
  • In the INPUT PATCH function INSERT/DIRECT OUT POINT screen, PRE ATT has been added as a direct output transmit location. (p.282)
  • In the PAN/Routing function MIX SEND VIEW screen, the send position (PRE/POST) of the signal sent to the MIX bus is now indicated by the color of the bar graph. ( p.306)
  • You can now set a Q of up to 16 for the parametric EQ in the input channels, output channels, and GEQ modules.
  • You can now set a threshold level of down to -72dB for an input channel GATE.

Regarding word clock synchronization

The signal used to synchronize digital audio signal processing is called "word clock." Normally, one device transmits a reference word clock signal, and the other devices receive this word clock signal and synchronize to it.

In order to transmit or receive digital audio signals to or from an external device via the PM5D/DSP5D's digital input/output jacks or via a digital I/O card installed in a slot, the word clock must be synchronized between the devices. Be aware that if the word clock is not synchronized, the signals will not be transmitted correctly, and unpleasant noise will occur.

How this manual is organized

This owner's manual is divided into the following three sections.

□ Operating section

This section explains the items on the front and rear panels, connections and setup, and how to operate the PM5D's basic functionality. In particular if you have not operated a digital console before, we recommend that you read chapters 2 through 7 first.

Reference section

This section explains the functionality and operation for all of the PM5D's screens. Refer to this section when you want to learn about the items in the screens.

Appendices

This contains various information such as library lists, parameter lists for the internal effects, the MIDI data format, and lists of warning messages and error messages.

Hint

  • For details on synchronizing the word clock of the PM5D/ DSP5D and external devices, refer to the explanation of word clock in Operating section "Chapter 4. Connections and setup" (p.38), and to the Reference Section "WORD CLOCK screen" (p.219).
  • As an exception, digital signals that are not synchronized with the PM5D/DSP5D can be input via a digital I/O card that contains a sampling rate converter, or via the 2TR IN/OUT DIGITAL jacks.

Conventions in this manual

In this manual, non-locking panel switches that you press are called "keys," and those that change their on/off status when you push them in (locking types) are called "switches." Of the control knobs on the panel, those that turn from a minimum value to a maximum value are called "knobs," while those that turn endlessly are called "encoders."

Controls located on the panel are enclosed in square brackets [ ] (e.g., [CUE] key, [PAD] switch) in order to distinguish them from the buttons and knobs displayed in the screen. For some controls, the section name is listed before the [ ] (e.g., CH [ON] key, EQ [FREQUENCY] encoder).

Unless otherwise specified, references to the PM5D apply to both the PM5D model and the PM5D-RH model. If specifications differ between the PM5D model and the PM5D-RH model, such differences will be noted each time they occur.

2 Top, front, and rear panels

3 Basic operation on the PM5D

This chapter explains the various types of user interface used to operate the PM5D.

About the various types of user interface

Basic parameters such as mixing and editing the sound of each channel can be controlled by the faders and encoders of the top panel. However to make more detailed settings, you will need to access the appropriate "function" and edit the parameter values in the display. The section below explains the various user interface components shown in the display, and how to use them.

User interface in the display

The user interface in the PM5D's display uses the following components.

Pointer

The arrow shown in the display is called the "pointer." Use the pointer to select the parameter you want to control next.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Pointer - 1

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Pointer - 2

Cursor

The red frame shown in the display is called the "cursor." If the cursor encloses a parameter on the screen, that parameter is selected for operation.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Cursor - 1

□ Tabs

The screen names shown in the upper left of the display are called "tabs." Tabs are used to switch between screens within the same function.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - □ Tabs - 1

□ Buttons

Buttons in the display are used to switch parameters on/off or to select one of multiple choices. Buttons that are currently on are displayed in green (some buttons are displayed in red or blue); buttons that are turned off are displayed in gray.

When you press the key for the desired function, the screen for that function will appear in the display. By repeatedly pressing a key you can cycle through the screens included in that function.

Hint

If you hold down the [SHIFT] key and press a key in the DISPLAY ACCESS section, the screens included in that function will appear in the reverse order (Previous Tab function). You can also use the Previous Tab function by holding down a key in the DISPLAY ACCESS section. If you rapidly press a key twice, you will return to the first screen in that function.

Data Entry section

Controllers used to edit settings and values in the display are gathered into the data entry section.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Data Entry section - 1

① [DEC/CANCEL]/[INC/OK] keys

Use these keys to increase or decrease the value of the parameter where the cursor is located. If the PM5D has displayed a window asking you to confirm an operation such as recall or store, these buttons can be used instead of the CANCEL button and OK button shown in the window.

② CURSOR [▲]/[▶]/[▲]/[▼] keys

These keys are used to move the cursor to the desired parameter.

③ [SHIFT] key

This key can be used in conjunction with the CURSOR [] / [] / [] / [] keys to move the cursor rapidly, or in conjunction with the [DATA] encoder or [DEC]/[INC] keys to change the parameter value rapidly. If you hold down the [SHIFT] key and press the [ENTER] key, the JOB SELECT window will appear, allowing you to set multiple parameters in a single operation. (When you move the cursor to a parameter for which there is a JOB SELECT window, an indication of "Job Select = [SHIFT] + [ENTER]" will appear.)

(4) [ENTER] key

Use this key to switch a button at the cursor location on/off, or to open a window.

(5) [DATA] encoder

Use this to increase or decrease the value of the parameter where the cursor is located. The parameter value will change more rapidly if you turn the [DATA] encoder while holding down the [SHIFT] key.

⑥ Track pad and left/right buttons

Basic operation

This section explains the basic procedures you can perform in the PM5D's display. In general, you will perform operations in the PM5D's display by combining the operations described here.

Click

Moving the pointer to a specific parameter in the screen and pressing the left/right track pad button (or the left/right mouse button) is called "clicking." Clicking is mainly used to turn an on-screen button on/off, to move the cursor, or to make fine adjustments to a value.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Click - 1
- Track pad

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Click - 2
- Mouse

Using the CURSOR [] / [] / [] / [] keys of the data entry section to move the cursor to a desired parameter and then pressing the [ENTER] key is equivalent to clicking. If you are using a PS/2 keyboard, you can perform the same action using the arrow keys and the key.

Subsequently in this manual, this operation will simply be called "clicking."

Hint

When using the track pad, you can move the pointer to the desired parameter and then tap the track pad to obtain the same result as if you pressed the left button. (This is called the Tapping function.) If you want to use the tapping function, you must enable it in the PREFERENCE 2 screen (UTILITY function) ( p.206) .

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Hint - 1
- Track pad
Tapping

Drag

Moving the pointer to a specific parameter in the screen and then holding down the left/right track pad (or mouse) button while moving up/down/left/right is called "dragging." Dragging is used mainly to adjust the value of a knob or fader.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Drag - 1
- Track pad

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Drag - 2
- Mouse

Using the CURSOR [] / [] / [] / [] keys of the data entry section to move the cursor to a desired parameter and then turning the [DATA] encoder (or pressing the [DEC/CANCEL]/[INC/OK] keys) is equivalent to dragging. If you are using a PS/2 keyboard, you can perform the same action using the arrow keys and the / keys (or keys that have the same function).

Subsequently in this manual, this operation will simply be called "dragging."

Drag and drop

Moving the mouse pointer to a specific parameter in the screen, dragging to another location in the screen, and then releasing your finger is called "dragging and dropping." Dragging and dropping is used to copy EQ or compressor settings to another channel. Dragging and dropping cannot be performed using the CURSOR keys or keyboard.

Subsequently in this manual, this operation will be called "dragging and dropping."

Accessing a desired screen

A desired function/screen can be accessed in the display using either of the following two methods.

Using the keys of the DISPLAY ACCESS section

1 From the keys of the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the key corresponding to the desired function.

The most recently operated screen for that function will appear.

2 If you want to switch to another screen within that function, press the same key you pressed in step 1.

If you repeatedly press a key in the DISPLAY ACCESS section, or hold down the [SHIFT] key of the data entry section and press the same key as in step 1, you will return to the preceding screen of the same function.

Using buttons within the display

1 In any screen, click the function name area located in the upper left of the screen.

When you click the function name area, the function menu screen will appear. This screen is the starting point from which you can access the desired screen via operations in the display.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Using buttons within the display - 1

2 In the function menu screen, click the button corresponding to the desired function.

The most recently operated screen for that function will appear.

Hint

By clicking the BACK FORMALD buttons located below the function name area you can switch backward through the screens that had been previously displayed for at least two seconds (not including the function menu). Up to the eight most recent screens are remembered.

Moving the cursor

To select a parameter, use the data entry section's controllers or a PS/2 keyboard to move the cursor (the red frame).

Hint

If you are using a mouse or the track pad, the cursor will move when you click on the button or knob of the desired parameter.

1 Use the CURSOR [] / [] / [] / [] keys to move the cursor.

The cursor in the display will move in the direction of the key you pressed. However, it will not move if there is no parameter in the direction of that key.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Hint - 1

2 To move quickly to the outer edge of the current window or to a different window, hold down the [SHIFT] key and use the CURSOR []/[]/[] /[▼] keys.

You will move from the scroll window in which the cursor is currently located, in the direction of the key you pressed.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Hint - 2

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Hint - 3

Hint

If the cursor is located on a grid such as in a PATCH screen, turning the [DATA] encoder clockwise will move the cursor toward the right, and turning it counterclockwise will move the cursor toward the left. If you are holding down the [SHIFT] key, turning the [DATA] encoder clockwise will move the cursor downward, and turning it counterclockwise will move the cursor upward.

Scrolling the screen

A scroll bar is displayed if there are more items than can be shown in a single screen. To scroll the screen, drag the box shown in the bar.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Scrolling the screen - 1

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Scrolling the screen - 2

You can also scroll the screen by clicking the vacant portion of the scroll bar or the / buttons or / buttons located at the ends of the scroll bar.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Scrolling the screen - 3

Click these buttons to move the scroll bar box step-wise in the direction indicated. Clicking the / buttons will move in larger steps than clicking the / buttons.

Click in these areas to make the scroll bar box move by a large step in the corresponding direction; the screen will scroll accordingly.

If you move the cursor to the scroll bar and press the [DEC/CANCEL] key or turn the [DATA] encoder counterclockwise, the screen will scroll toward the left (or upward, in the case of vertical scrolling). If you press the [INC/OK] key or

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Scrolling the screen - 4

turn the [DATA] encoder clockwise, the screen will scroll toward the right (or downward, in the case of vertical scrolling).

Hint

If the cursor is located at the scroll bar box, holding down the [SHIFT] key and turning the [DATA] encoder will have the same result as clicking the button or button, depending on the direction in which you turn the encoder.

Operating the buttons

Buttons in the display are used to switch parameters on/off or to select one of multiple choices.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Operating the buttons - 1

1 Move the pointer to the desired button, and use the left/right buttons of the track pad (or mouse) to click the button.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Operating the buttons - 2

The button will be switched on/off (or the corresponding button will be selected).

Hint

You can use the CURSOR [<]/[▶][[▲][▼] keys and the [ENTER] key (or the arrow keys and key of a PS/2 keyboard) to perform the equivalent operation.

Hint

When using the track pad, you can also click by tapping the track pad if you have enabled tapping in the PREFERENCE 2 screen (UTILITY function p.206). In this case, the result will be the same as if you pressed the left button of the track pad (or mouse).

Adjusting the setting of a knob or fader

Knobs and faders in the display are used to adjust the value of specific parameters.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Adjusting the setting of a knob or fader - 1

1 Move the pointer to the desired knob/fader, and use the left/right buttons of the track pad (or mouse) to click the knob/fader.

The cursor will move to that location.

2 To increase or decrease the value in steps of 1, click the right button or left button of the track pad (or mouse).

Clicking the right button will raise the value by one step, and clicking the left button will lower the value by one step.

3 To raise or lower the value continuously, use the track pad (or mouse) to drag the knob/fader.

The value will change as you drag the knob or fader left/right or up/down. For a parameter whose knob has a wide range of adjustment, holding down the right button of the track pad (or mouse) as you drag will produce a larger range of change than when using the left button.

Hint

You can also adjust the value by using the [DEC/CANCEL]/[INC/OK] keys, the [DATA] encoder, or the / keys of a PS/2 keyboard. When adjusting a parameter that has a wide range of adjustment, you can increase the rate of change by holding down the [SHIFT] key while you press the [DEC/CANCEL]/[INC/OK] keys (or turn the [DATA] encoder).

Assigning a name

On the PM5D you can assign a four-character name to each input channel or DCA group, and assign a title to scene and library data when saving it.

For example, the screen shown below is the LIBRARY STORE window that appears when you assign a name to the INPUT EQ library. To input characters in this screen, use the following procedure.

  • In general, the same procedure applies in screens where you enter names for scenes or other library items.
  • If a PS/2 keyboard is connected, you can use it to enter characters.
  • If you move the cursor to the text input box and press the [ENTER] key (or click), the input position will move to that point. If the cursor is located at the text input box, you can step through the available characters by turning the [DATA] encoder. If the cursor is located elsewhere, turning the [DATA] encoder will move the selected position. The [INC]/[DEC] keys move the selected position regardless of where the cursor is located.

Note

The number of characters that can be input will depend on the type of data (scene/library) you are saving. You cannot input more than the specified number of characters, or move the highlighted area beyond that range.

4 Connections and setup

This chapter describes examples of expanded systems using the DSP5D, audio input/output connections, and the setup that will be necessary when starting up the PM5D/DSP5D for the first time.

Examples of systems expanded with the DSP5D

  • In order to use "escape connections" for expansion, you must first specify the machine ID (p.153) and make cascade connection settings (p.154). If the PM5D and DSP5D are cascade-connected, you'll be able to select the PM5D/DSP5D that will be the target of control from the PM5D's panel (p.40).

Example of simple input expansion (PM5D + one DSP5D unit)

  • This system expands the number of input channels to 96 monaural + 8 stereo.
  • To make cascade connections, use a D-sub half-pitch 68-pin cable to connect the CASCADE IN connector to the OUT connector of each respective PM5D and DSP5D unit.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Example of simple input expansion (PM5D + one DSP5D unit) - 1

PM5D + remotely connected input expansion (PM5D + DCU5D + two DSP5D units)

  • The connection between the PM5D located at FoH and the DSP5D located on the stage is routed through the DCU5D, via Ethernet CAT5 cable and the CASCADE IN and OUT connectors.
  • By using two DSP5D units, the number of input channels is expanded to 144 monaural + 12 stereo.
  • To make cascade connections between the PM5D and DCU5D, use D-sub half-pitch 68-pin cables to connect the CASCADE IN connectors to the OUT connectors of each respective unit.
  • Connections between the two DSP5D units are made using an Ethernet CAT5 cable and a D-sub half-pitch 68-pin cable, each connected from CASCADE IN to OUT of the two units.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - PM5D + remotely connected input expansion (PM5D + DCU5D + two DSP5D units) - 1

Note

If the PM5D and DSP5D are cascade-connected via the DCU5D and you're not synchronizing to an external word clock being input to the PM5D, you should set the PM5D as the word clock master and the DSP5D as the slave.

Control from DSP5D Editor (one DSP5D unit + PC)

  • One DSP5D unit is connected to a PC via an Ethernet CAT5 cable, allowing the DSP5D to be controlled from DSP5D Editor.

Malfunctions or incorrect operation may occur if the card is not fastened.

Word clock connections and settings

This section explains the word clock settings required in order to send or receive digital audio between the PM5D/DSP5D and an external digital device.

About word clock

When digital audio signals are being sent or received between multiple devices, the devices must process the audio signals at the matching timing. For example if the audio signal processing is not synchronized, the signals will not be transmitted correctly and unpleasant noise will occur even if both devices are set to the same sampling frequency.

The signal used to synchronize digital audio signal processing is called "word clock." Normally, one device transmits a reference word clock signal, and the other devices receive this word clock signal and synchronize to it. (The transmitting device is called the "word clock master" and the receiving devices are called "word clock slaves.")

The word clock can be synchronized between the PM5D/ DSP5D and external devices in either of two ways; you can send/receive a word clock signal by itself, or use the clock data that is included in a digital audio signal.

The WORD CLOCK IN/OUT connectors on the rear panel of the PM5D (front panel for the DSP5D) are used to send/receive a word clock signal by itself. In general, word clock connections can be made in either of the following two ways.

Using daisy-chain connections

In this method, the signal is distributed sequentially; the WORD CLOCK OUT connector of the first device is connected to the WORD CLOCK IN connector of the second device, and so on. Turn all of the PM5D's 75 ON/OFF switches ON. On the DSP5D, this is fixed at 75 ON. This method is not recommended for large systems.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Using daisy-chain connections - 1

Using a word clock distribution box

In this method, a special word clock distribution box is used to distribute the signal from the word clock master to multiple word clock slaves. Turn ON all of the 75 ON/OFF switches.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Using a word clock distribution box - 1

If an external device does not have WORD CLOCK IN/ OUT connectors, the clock data included in the digital audio signal is used. In this case, both the digital audio signal and the clock data are sent from the DIGITAL OUT jack of the word clock master to the DIGITAL IN jack of the word clock slave.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Using a word clock distribution box - 2

Selecting the word clock master

When digitally connecting the PM5D/DSP5D to an external device, you must select the source that will be the word clock master for the system.

1 Repeatedly press the [SYS/W.CLOCK] key of the DISPLAY ACCESS section until the WORD CLOCK screen appears.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Selecting the word clock master - 1

In this screen you can select the master clock, and check the input signal synchronization status for each slot or jack.

Note

When you switch the word clock source, noise may occur due to loss of synchronization. You must lower the level of your monitoring equipment before you perform the following operation.

Use the MASTER CLOCK SELECT area located in the upper part of the screen to select the master clock source. You can choose one of the following sources.

PM5D

INT 96, INT 88.2, INT 48, INT 44.1These settings select the PM5D's internal clock. If you select one of these settings, the PM5D will operate as the word clock master. As necessary, make settings within your external devices so that they will operate as word clock slaves.
W.CLOCK INThe PM5D will follow the word clock signal being input from the rear panel WORD CLOCK IN connector.
CASCADE INThe PM5D will follow the clock data being sent from another PM5D connected to the CASCADE IN connector.
2TR IN D1–D3The PM5D will follow the clock data included in the input signal from 2TR IN DIGITAL jacks 1–3.
SLOT 1–4The PM5D will follow the clock data included in the input signal from a digital I/O card installed in slots 1–4. (You can select a specific pair of adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered channels.)

DSP5D

INT 96, INT 88.2, INT 48, INT 44.1These settings select the DSP5D's internal clock. If you select one of these settings, the DSP5D will operate as the word clock master. As necessary, make settings within your external devices so that they will operate as word clock slaves.
W.CLOCK INThe DSP5D will follow the word clock signal being input from the front panel WORD CLOCK IN connector.
CASCADE IN (D-sub half-pitch 68-pin connector)The DSP5D will follow the clock data sent from the other DSP5D, the PM5D, or the DME64N.
CASCADE IN (RJ-45 connector)The DSP5D will follow the clock data sent from the other DSP5D or the DCU5D.
SLOT 1-2The DSP5D will follow the clock data included in the input signal from a digital I/O card installed in slots 1-2. (You can select a specific pair of adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered channels.)

Note

  • Sources for which the symbol at the left of the button is red (UNLOCK) or yellow (UNKNOWN) cannot be selected, since a valid clock is not being input or the clock cannot be detected.
  • If the PM5D and DSP5D are cascade-connected via the DCU5D and you're not synchronizing to an external word clock being input to the PM5D, you should set the PM5D as the word clock master and the DSP5D as the slave. This means that in this case, you'll select INT for the PM5D, and CASCADE IN for the DSP5D.

2 In the MASTER CLOCK SELECT area located in the upper part of the screen, click a button to select the desired master clock source.

A window will appear, asking you to confirm that you want to switch the master clock.

3 Click the OK button.

The selected word clock master will be enabled. The selected word clock master is remembered even if you turn off the power. As long as the connections have not been changed, you don't have to make this setting again.

Note

  • If a digital I/O card (such as the MY8-AE96S) that contains a built-in SRC (Sampling Rate Converter) is installed in slots, you can switch the SRC on/off in groups of two channels. The input signals from channels for which the SRC is turned on do not need to be synchronized with the PM5D/DSP5D's word clock.
  • If transferring high sampling rate (88.2 kHz/96 kHz) signals between the PM5D/DSP5D and an external device, you will need to select the transmission method. (For details, refer to p.220)

Restoring the current scene to the default state

When the PM5D/DSP5D is in its default state, the input signals from INPUT jacks 1-48 are patched to input channels 1-48 and the input signals from ST IN jacks 1-4 are patched to the ST IN channels, and can then be output via the STEREO bus or MIX buses.

However, if the PM5D/DSP5D's internal mix parameter settings (referred to as the "current scene") have been modified, the signal of a specific input may not be sent to an input channel, or the EQ or dynamics processors may be set to produce extreme effects.

To initialize the mix parameters from such a state, proceed as follows.

1 Use the SCENE [ ] / [ ] keys of the SCENE MEMORY section to make the scene number indicator show "000".

Scene number "000" is a scene memory containing the default settings.

Hint

If the PM5D and DSP5D are cascade-connected, scene data is stored in both the PM5D and the DSP5D. When a scene is recalled, the same scene number is recalled on all PM5D/DSP5D units.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Hint - 1

2 Press the [RECALL] key of the SCENE MEMORY section.

Scene number "000" will be loaded, and the current scene will return to the default state.

Note

Be aware that when scene number "000" is loaded, the input patch, output patch, internal effect, and HA (Head Amp) settings will also return to their default state. (However, the word clock master selection is not affected.)

Switching the target of panel operations (when cascade-connected with the DSP5D)

When the DSP5D is cascade-connected, you can switch the target of operations performed from the PM5D's panel, and operate these units while seamlessly switching between the PM5D and DSP5D.

To switch the target of panel operations, use the following procedure. For details, refer to the page reference given for each step.

1 Set the machine ID number of the PM5D and DSP5D ( p.153).
2 In the SYS/W.CLOCK function MIXER SETUP screen, make settings for cascade connections ( p.154).
3 Use one of the following three methods to switch the target of panel operations.

  • Using the constantly-displayed screen In the constantly displayed screen, select the machine ID and change it (→ p.164).
  • Using a user-defined key In the UTILITY function USER DEFINE screen, assign the DSP5D CONTROL function ( p.148), and use the user-defined key to switch the target of control ( p.149).
  • Using the FADER MODE key In the UTILITY function FADER ASSIGN screen, assign a DSP5D layer ( p.149), and use the FADER MODE key to switch the target of control ( p.150).

Input channel operations

This chapter explains the functions and operation of each section related to input channels.

About the input channels

The input channel section processes the signals that are input via the input patch section, and outputs them to the STEREO buses or MIX buses. There are three types of input channel, as follows.

Input channels 1-48

These channels are used to process monaural signals. When the input patching is in the default state, the input signals from INPUT jacks 1-48 are assigned to these channels.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Input channels 1-48 - 1

ST IN channels 1-4

These channels are used to process stereo signals. When the input patching is in the default state, the input signals from ST IN jacks 1-4 are assigned to these channels.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - ST IN channels 1-4 - 1

FX RTN channels 1-4

These channels are used mainly to process the return signals (stereo) from the internal effects. When the input patching is in the default state, the left/right channels of internal effects 1-4 are assigned to these channels.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - FX RTN channels 1-4 - 1

  • INPUT PATCH

This assigns an input signal to the input channel.

  • (Phase)

Switches the phase of the input signal.

  • MS DECODE (Input channels / ST IN channels only)

Switches MS decode processing on/off when an MS mic is connected.

  • ATT (Attenuator)

Attenuates/boosts the level of the input signal.

HPF (High Pass Filter)

This is a high pass filter that cuts the region below the specified frequency.

4 BAND EQ (4 band equalizer)

A parametric EQ with four bands; HIGH, HIGH MID, LOW MID, and LOW.

GATE (Input channels and ST IN channels only)

This is a dynamics processor that can be used for gating or ducking.

  • COMP (Compressor) (Input channels and ST IN channels only)

This is a dynamics processor that can be used as a compressor, expander, or limiter.

  • INPUT DELAY (Input channels and ST IN channels only)

This delays the input signal. It can be used to make fine adjustments in the relative timing between channels.

LEVEL/DCA 1-8

Adjusts the input level of the effect.

  • ON (On/off)

Turns the input channel on/off. If off, that channel is muted.

PAN

Adjusts the panning of the signal sent from the input channel to the STEREO bus. If necessary, this pan setting can also be applied to signals sent to two paired MIX buses.

  • LCR (Left/Center/Right)

Sends the three-channel signal (left/right channels and a center channel) to the STEREO bus.

  • MIX 1-24 (Mix send level 1-24)

Adjusts the send level of the signal sent from the input channel to MIX buses 1-24. As the position from which the signal is sent to the MIX bus, you can choose from the following; immediately before the 4-band EQ, pre-fader, or post-fader.

  • INSERT (Input channels and ST IN channels only)

Here you can patch the desired output port and input port to insert-out/insert-in, allowing an external effect processor or other device to be inserted. You can switch the insert-out and insert-in locations.

  • DIRECT OUT (Input channel and ST IN channels only)

This can be patched to an output port, and the input signal sent directly from that output port.

METER

This meters the level of the input channel. The level detection point can be switched.

Note

The signal assignments from input patch to input channel can be edited in the INPUT PATCH function INPUT PATCH screen.

To edit the parameters of an input channel, you can either use the panel controllers (e.g., INPUT channel strip, ST IN/FX RTN channel strip, SELECTED CHANNEL section), or access the appropriate screen in the display and edit the parameters in the screen.

The AD IN section AD-converts the signals that are input from the rear panel INPUT jacks 1-48 and ST IN jacks 1-4, and sends them to the input patch section. The structure of this section differs between the PM5D model and the PM5D-RH model.

Sending a signal from an input channel to the STEREO bus

Here's how to use the INPUT channel strip or ST IN/FX RTN channel strip to send an input channel signal to the STEREO bus. The explanation here uses the example of an input channel, but the procedure is essentially identical when using a ST IN channel or FX RTN channel.

1 Make sure that an input source is correctly assigned to the input channel, and that the head amp gain is set appropriately.
2 Make sure that the appropriate CH [ON] key is turned on in the INPUT channel strip, and press the [SEL] key for that channel to make it light.

The [SEL] keys are used to select the channel you want to control.

In the SELECTED CHANNEL section you can make detailed parameters settings for the channel currently selected by its [SEL] key. (For details on the SELECTED CHANNEL section p.65.)

When you turn on the [TO STEREO] key, the signal sent from that input channel to the STEREO bus will be turned on. At this time, the [TO ST] LED of the INPUT channel strip will light.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Sending a signal from an input channel to the STEREO bus - 2

4 Raise the corresponding fader of the INPUT channel strip.

The level of the input signal is shown by the level meter located at the right of the CH [ON] key.

5 Turn on the [PAN] key in the ENCODER MODE section.

6 Use the encoder in the INPUT channel strip to adjust the pan of the input channel.

Note

If you are sending the signal from a ST IN channel / FX RTN channel to the STEREO bus, you can repeatedly press the [SEL] key to switch between L/R channels, and make pan settings for each channel.

7 In the STEREO A/B channel strip, turn the STEREO A [ON] key and STEREO B [ON] key on (LED lit).

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Sending a signal from an input channel to the STEREO bus - 3

8 In the STEREO A/B channel strip, raise the [STEREO A]/[STEREO B] faders.

The signal sent to the stereo bus will be routed through the STEREO A/B channels and output from the STE-REO OUT A/B jacks.

Sending the signal from the input channel to a MIX bus

Signals from input channels or ST IN/FX RTN channels can be sent to the desired MIX bus. This can be done either by specifying the send level sent from all input channels to a specific MIX bus, or by specifying the send level sent from a specific input channel to all MIX buses.

The explanation here uses an input channel as the send-source, but the procedure is the same when using a ST IN channel or FX RTN channel.

To send signals from all input channels to a specific MIX bus

1 Use MIX SEND SELECT [1]–[24] keys of the ENCODER MODE section to select the destination MIX bus.

The selected key will light, and the encoder mode indicator will show the number of the destination MIX bus. In this state, the encoders of the channel strip adjust the send level to the MIX bus. Make sure that the FADER [FLIP] key is dark.

2 Turn the encoders of the INPUT channel strip.

When MIX SEND is selected as the encoder mode, you can use the encoders of the INPUT channel strip to adjust the level of the signal that is sent to the currently selected MIX bus from the corresponding input channel.

The LEDs around the periphery of the encoder indicate the approximate send level.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Turn the encoders of the INPUT channel strip. - 1

3 To turn off the signal sent from a specific channel to the MIX bus, press the ENCODER [ON] key for that channel to turn it off.

Press the same key once again to turn it back on.

Note

If the send-destination MIX bus is set to FIXED mode ( p.299) , the encoders have no effect; the signal can only be switched on/off by the ENCODER [ON] key.

4 In the same way, select a different send-destination MIX bus, and use the encoders of the INPUT channel strip to adjust the send levels to it.

To send signals from a specific input channel to all MIX buses

Press a [SEL] key of the INPUT channel strip to select the send-source channel.

2 In the MIX section, press the [MIX SEND] key to make it light.

The MIX section lets you control the signals sent to MIX buses 1-24 and the signals output from MIX channels 1-24. (For details, refer to p.57) When the [MIX SEND] key is lit, you can use the encoders of the MIX section to control the send levels from the currently selected input channel to MIX buses 1-24.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - In the MIX section, press the [MIX SEND] key to make it light. - 1

Hint

When the [MIX MASTER] key of the MIX section is lit, you can hold down the [SEL] key of an input channel to make the [MIX SEND] key light (the [MIX MASTER] key will go dark). In this state, you can use the encoders of the MIX section to adjust the send levels from the selected channel to MIX buses 1-24.

3 Turn the MIX encoders to adjust the send levels to the MIX buses.

The LEDs around the periphery of the encoder indicate the approximate send level.

If the send-destination MIX bus is set to FIXED mode, the MIX encoders have no effect; the signal can only be switched on/off by the MIX [ON] key.

Enabling/disabling pairing

Monaural input channels can be paired to link their principal parameters. There are two types of pairing; you can use only one type.

Horizontal pair mode

This mode pairs adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered channels (default setting).

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Enabling/disabling pairing - 1

Vertical pair mode

This mode pairs channels of different layers that share the same fader.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Enabling/disabling pairing - 2

Hint

Input channels that are paired will have their parameters linked except for head amp, delay, pan, attenuation, and phase.

Note

If the PM5D is cascade-connected to the DSP5D, pairing can be specified only within each individual machine.

Using horizontal pairing

Here's how to enable or defeat pairing for adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered channels.

1 To enable pairing, hold down the [SEL] key of one of the adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered channels, and press the [SEL] key of the other channel.

The parameters of the channel you pressed first will be copied to the subsequently-pressed channel.

Hint

The copy-source channel is determined by the order in which you press the [SEL] keys. For example if you hold down the channel 1 [SEL] key and press the channel 2 [SEL] key, the channel 1 parameters will be copied to channel 2.

2 To defeat pairing, hold down the [SEL] key of one of the paired channels and press the [SEL] key of the other channel.

Note

If you are unable to enable/defeat pairing by using the above procedure, make sure that MAKE PAIR ON PANEL is turned on in the UTILITY function PREFERENCE 1 screen ( p.206) .

Using vertical pairing

Here's how to enable or disable pairing for channels of different layers that share the same fader.

1 Repeatedly press the [SYS/W.CLOCK] key of the DISPLAY ACCESS section until the MIXER SETUP screen appears.

Output channel operations

This chapter explains the functions and operation of each section related to output channels.

About the output channels

Output channels mix the signals sent from input channels etc., and send them to the corresponding output jacks or output buses.

There are three types of output channel, as follows.

Note

The DSP5D does not have MIX OUT jacks, MATRIX OUT jacks, or STEREO OUT jacks. Output channels are assigned to OMNI OUT jacks for use.

MIX channels 1-24

Signals sent from input channels to MIX buses are sent via these channels to the MIX OUT jacks 1-24 or the STEREO/MATRIX buses. If the output patching is in its default state, the PM5D assigns MIX channels 1-24 to MIX OUT jacks 1-24, and the DSP5D assigns MIX channels 1-22 to OMNI OUT jacks 1-22.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - MIX channels 1-24 - 1

STEREO A/B channels

The signals sent from input channels or MIX channels are sent via these channels to STEREO OUT jacks A/B.

If the DSP5D's output patching is in its default state, the STEREO A channel is assigned to OMNI OUT jacks 23-24.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - STEREO A/B channels - 1

MATRIX channels 1-8

The signals sent from MIX channels or STEREO A/B channels to MATRIX buses are sent via these channels to the MATRIX OUT jacks.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - MATRIX channels 1-8 - 1

  • 8 BAND EQ (8 band equalizer) (MIX channels and STEREO A/B channels)

This is an eight-band (four upper bands + four lower bands) parametric EQ.

  • 4 BAND EQ (4 band equalizer) (MATRIX channels)

This is a four-band (HIGH, HIGH MID, LOW MID, LOW) parametric EQ.

COMP (Compressor)

This is a dynamics processor that can be used as a compressor, expander, or limiter.

LEVEL

This adjusts the output level of the channel.

  • ON (On/off)

This switches the channel on/off. If this is off, that channel will be muted.

OUTPUT DELAY

This delays the output signal. It can be used to make fine adjustments in the relative timing between channels.

  • OUT ATT. (Output attenuator)

This attenuates or boosts the level of the channel's output signal.

METER

This meter indicates the output level of the output channel. The level detection point can be switched.

  • MIX to STEREO (MIX channels)

This is an on/off switch for the signal sent from the MIX channel to the STEREO bus.

to MATRIX (MIX channels and STEREO A/B channels)

This is an on/off switch for the signal sent from the MIX channel to the MATRIX bus.

  • PAN (MIX channels)

This adjusts the panning of the signal sent from the MIX channel to the STEREO bus.

BAL (Balance) (STEREO channels)

This adjusts the L/R volume balance of the STEREO channel.

  • LCR (Left/Center/Right) (MIX channels)

This sends the three-channel signal (left/right channels and a center channel) to the STEREO bus.

  • INSERT

Here you can patch the desired output port and input port to insert-out/insert-in, allowing an external effect processor or other device to be inserted. You can switch the insert-out and insert-in locations.

OUTPUT PATCH

Here, output channels can be assigned to output jacks.

Hint

STEREO A/B channels, and MATRIX channels 1-8 are always connected to STEREO OUT jacks A/B, and MATRIX OUT jacks 1-8 respectively. However, you can also make output patch settings to send the signals of these output channels and MIX channels 1-24 to slots 1-4, the 2TR OUT DIGITAL jacks or the MIX OUT jacks.

The MIX section adjusts the send level of the signals sent from input channels to MIX buses, and adjusts the output level of the MIX channels.

7 Using the Selected Channel section

This chapter explains how you can use the SELECTED CHANNEL section to control input channels and output channels.

About the SELECTED CHANNEL section

The SELECTED CHANNEL section lets you edit the mix parameters of the currently selected input channel or output channel; it corresponds to a channel module of a conventional analog mixer.

This section controls the channel that was last selected by pressing its [SEL] key. (In the case of an ST IN channel, FX TRN channel, or STEREO A/B channel, you will select either the L or the R channel.) However, you will be able to edit essentially all of the mix parameters (head amp settings, EQ/compressor/gate settings, output to the STEREO bus, DCA group and mute group assignments, etc.) using panel controls.

Items in the SELECTED CHANNEL section

GROUP

Here you can assign the currently selected channel to DCA groups and mute groups. (For details on DCA groups and mute groups p.82, 83)

EQUALIZER

Here you can edit equalizer parameters for the selected channel. The equalizer structure differs as follows between input channels and output channels.

Input channels

You can use a four-band peak/dip type EQ (HIGH, HIGH MID, LOW MID, LOW). The HIGH band can be switched to an LPF or shelving type; the LOW band can be switched to a shelving type.

Output channels

If a MIX channel or STEREO A/B is selected, you can use an eight-band peak/dip type EQ. (Operation is divided into UPPER and LOWER groups of four bands each.) For MATRIX channels, you can use a four-band peak/dip type EQ.

For any output channel, the HIGH band can be switched to shelving or LPF. The LOW band can be switched to shelving or HPF. For MIX channels and STEREO A/B channels, this can be specified for UPPER and LOWER, allowing you to apply shelving or filtering twice.

Hint

  • Input channels also provide an HPF that is independent of the four-band EQ.
    Output channels do not have an independent HPF, but instead allow you to switch the LOW band type to HPF.
  • Switching the equalizer type to HPF or LPF can be done in the EQ PARAM screen (⇒ p.250)

  • You can also cause the GATE PARAM screen to appear automatically when you operate a gate control. This setting is made in the UTILITY function PREFERENCE 1 screen ( p.204) .

EQ/HPF operations

Here's how you can use the SELECTED CHANNEL section to edit the EQ (equalizer) and HPF (High Pass Filter). EQ can be used on all input channels and all output channels. An HPF that is independent of the EQ is provided only for input channels. However even on output channels, you can switch the LOW band type to HPF.

1 Press a [SEL] key to select the channel you want to control.

Four-band EQ (HIGH, HIGH MID, LOW MID, LOW) is provided on all input channels and on MATRIX channels.

Eight-band EQ is provided on MIX channels and STE-REO A/B channels. (Control is divided into UPPER and LOWER sections of four bands each.)

2 In the SELECTED CHANNEL section, make sure that the EQ [ON] key is on.

If you selected a MIX channel or STEREO A/B channel in step 1, use the SELECTED CHANNEL section EQ [UPPER] key or EQ

[LOWER] key to select the UPPER or LOWER group of four bands.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - In the SELECTED CHANNEL section, make sure that the EQ [ON] key is on. - 1

3 For each band, use the EQ [Q] encoder, EQ [FREQUENCY] encoder, and [GAIN] encoder to edit the steepness, center frequency, and gain respectively.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - In the SELECTED CHANNEL section, make sure that the EQ [ON] key is on. - 2

Hint

If the input signal of an input channel clips because of EQ boost, make the SELECTED CHANNEL section [GAIN/ATT] key go dark and use the [GAIN/ATT] encoder to lower the level.

4 If you want to restore the EQ of the currently operated channel to a flat state, simultaneously hold down the EQ [UPPER] and EQ [LOWER] keys of the SELECTED CHANNEL section.

When you hold down these two keys simultaneously, the boost/cut amount of all bands will be reset to 0 dB.

5 If you want to use the HIGH band or LOW band as a shelving-type EQ, turn on the [-C] key or [> -] key for the corresponding band.

6 If you want to use HPF on an input channel, turn on the HPF [ON] key in the SELECTED CHANNEL section.

Input channels provide an HPF that is independent of the four-band EQ. Use the HPF [ON] key to switch the HPF on/off, and use the HPF [FREQUENCY] encoder to specify the cutoff frequency.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - If you want to use HPF on an input channel, turn on the HPF [ON] key in the SELECTED CHANNEL section. - 1

Hint

  • Output channels do not provide an HPF that is independent of the EQ, but you can switch the LOW band type to HPF, or the HIGH band type to LPF. This change is made in the OUTPUT EQ function EQ PARAM screen (p.250).
  • For input channels you can switch the HIGH band type to LPF. This change is made in the INPUT /EQ function EQ PARAM screen (p.286).

Hint

  • You can cause the associated screen to appear automatically when you operate equalizer or HPF parameters in the SELECTED CHANNEL section. This setting is made in the UTILITY function PREFERENCE 1 screen ( p.204).
  • In the same way as for compressor or noise gate settings, EQ settings can also be stored to or recalled from a dedicated EQ library. Preset library items suitable for a variety of instruments or situations are also provided.

8 Input Patch / Output Patch operations

This chapter explains how to edit the input patch and output patch settings, and how to use insert connections and direct output.

Changing the input patch settings

The input patch section lets you assign input ports to input channels. In the PM5D's default state, the input patch settings assign the following signals to input channels.

Input channels 1–48Input signals from INPUT jacks 1–48
ST IN channels 1–4Input signals from ST IN jacks 1–4 (L/R)
FX RTN channels 1–4Output signals of internal effects 1–4 (L/R)

However, you will need to edit the input patch settings if you want input signals from an I/O card installed in slots 1-4 or input signals from a 2TR IN DIGITAL jack to be assigned to an input channel. Here's how to do this.

1 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the INPUT [PATCH] key several times to access the INPUT PATCH screen.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Changing the input patch settings - 1

The INPUT PATCH screen is where you can patch (assign) input ports (rear panel input jacks or input channels of I/O cards) to input channels.

The horizontal direction of the screen shows the input ports (i.e., patch sources), and the vertical direction of the screen shows the input channels (i.e., patch destinations).

If an input port is patched to an input channel, a symbol is displayed at the intersecting grid.

2 Use the left/right scroll bar to display the patch-source input port.

The horizontal direction of the screen shows the patch source's input port type, ID number, port number, and the number of input channels that are assigned to it. To view input ports that are not currently visible, use the horizontal scroll bar or the [DATA] encoder.

From the top, this shows the input port type and ID number, the port number, and the number of input channels currently assigned.

4 Click the grid where the desired patch-source and patch-destination intersect.

The vertical and horizontal red lines indicate the grid position where the cursor is located. The SELECTED PATCH area in the upper left of the screen shows the input port and input channel for the grid at which the cursor is located.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Changing the input patch settings - 3

When you click a grid, a window will ask you to confirm that you want to change the patch setting.

5 Click the OK button in the window.

The new patch will be finalized, and a “ ” symbol will appear at the corresponding grid.

To cancel the patch, click the " " symbol once again.

Hint

  • If you want to change the patch directly without having to respond to the confirmation window, go to the UTILITY function PREFERENCE 1 screen and turn PATCH CONFIRMATION off (p.204).
    To move the cursor location rapidly in or out of the grid, hold down the [SHIFT] key and press the CURSOR [][]/[] /[▼] keys.

Note

You can patch a single input port to multiple input channels, but you cannot patch multiple input ports to a single input channel.

Changing the output patch settings

In the output patch section you can assign output channels to output ports. When the PM5D is in its initial state, MIX channels 1-24 are assigned to MIX OUT jacks 1-24. Other output channels are always connected to the following output jacks.

MIX channels 1–24MIX OUT jacks 1–24
STEREO A/B channelsSTEREO OUT jacks A/B
MATRIX channels 1–8MATRIX OUT jacks 1–8
Monitor output L/R/CMONITOR OUT jacks L/R/C

However you can edit the output patch settings so that the signals of these output channels are also sent from other output ports in parallel. Here's how to do this.

1 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the OUTPUT [PATCH] key several times to access the OUTPUT PATCH screen.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Changing the output patch settings - 1
OUTPUT PATCH

In the OUTPUT PATCH screen you can patch (assign) output channels to output ports. The horizontal direction of the screen shows the output ports (i.e., patch destinations), and the vertical direction of the screen shows the output channels (i.e., patch sources).

When the PM5D is in its default state, MIX channels 1-24, MATRIX channels 1-8, and the STEREO A channel are patched to the output channels of slots 1-4 and the 2TR OUT DIGITAL jacks in addition to the

output jacks that are always connected. However, you are free to change this patching.

2 Use the horizontal scroll bar to display the patch-destination output port.

The horizontal direction of the screen shows the patch destination's output port type, ID number, port number, and the number of output channels that are assigned to it.

From the top, this area shows the output port type, ID number, port number, and number of assigned output channels.

The SELECTED PATCH area in the upper left of the screen shows the output port and output channel for the grid at which the cursor is located.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Click the grid where the desired patch-source and patch-destination intersect. - 1

When you click a grid, a window will ask you to confirm that you want to change the patch setting.

Hint

If you want to change the patch directly without having to respond to the confirmation window, go to the UTILITY function PREFERENCE 1 screen and turn PATCH CONFIRMATION off (p.204).

5 Click the OK button in the window.

The new patch will be finalized, and a " " symbol will appear at the corresponding grid. To cancel the patch, click the " " symbol once again.

Note

You can patch an output channel to more than one output port, but you cannot patch multiple output channels to a single output port.

You can insert an effect processor or other external device into the signal route of an input channel or output channel. When doing so, you can specify for each channel the input/output port and insert I/O point that you want to use for insertion.

Connecting an external device for insertion

When inserting an external device into a desired channel, you can use the rear panel input/output jacks or the input/ output jacks of an I/O card installed in a slot as insert-out/ insert-in jacks.

The following diagrams show typical examples of insert connections.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Connecting an external device for insertion - 1
Insert connection example ①

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Connecting an external device for insertion - 2
Insert connection example ②

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Connecting an external device for insertion - 3
Insert connection example ③

If you are inserting an external digital device via a digital I/O card as shown in "Insert connection example ③," you will need to synchronize the word clock of the PM5D and the external device. Normally, we recommend that you set the external device as a word clock slave, and make it follow the PM5D's word clock. (For details on how to set your device as a word clock slave, refer to its manual.)

Hint

For the PM5D model, you can also use the rear panel INSERT IN/OUT jacks to insert an external device into an input signal, as an alternative to the method described above. In this case, the insert I/O point is fixed at immediately before AD conversion. Also, the steps described p.78 will not be necessary.

Patching the insert-out and insert-in

Here we will explain how to make insert connections, using an example in which an external device connected to an AD/DA card in a slot is inserted into an input channel. However, the procedure is the same when inserting into an output channel, the only difference being that you will be working in a screen for output channels.

1 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the INPUT [PATCH] key several times to access the INSERT PATCH screen (INPUT PATCH function) shown below.

In the left side of this screen you can select an output port to use as insert-out, and in the right side of the screen you can select an input port to use as insert-in.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Patching the insert-out and insert-in - 1

If you want to insert into an output channel, press the OUTPUT [PATCH] key several times to access the OUTPUT PATCH function INSERT PATCH screen.

2 In the left side of the screen, click the grid at which the output port connected to your external device intersects the desired channel.

The procedure is the same as in the INPUT PATCH screen or OUTPUT PATCH screen. You can select the following output ports.

9 Grouping and linking

This chapter explains DCA Groups and Mute Groups which let you control the level or muting of multiple channels simultaneously, and EQ Link and Compressor Link which let you link EQ or compressor parameters of multiple channels.

About DCA Groups and Mute Groups

You can use eight DCA groups and eight mute groups to control multiple channels simultaneously.

DCA groups allow the level of multiple channels to be controlled together by the DCA faders 1-8 of the top panel DCA strip. A single DCA fader will control the level of channels belonging to the same DCA group while maintaining the level difference between the channels. This provides a convenient way in which drum mics can be grouped.

DCA groups 1-6 are for input channels only, but DCA groups 7/8 can be used with both input channels and output channels. Both types of channel can exist in an identically-numbered group.

Mute groups allow multiple channels to be switched on/off simultaneously by the SCENE MEMORY [1]-[8] keys in the SCENE MEMORY section of the top panel. You can use this to cut out multiple channels simultaneously.

Mute groups 1-8 can be used with both input channels and output channels. Both types of channel can exist in an identically-numbered group.

Items in the ASSIGN MODE section

The ASSIGN MODE section lets you use the panel to assign channels to DCA groups or mute groups.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Items in the ASSIGN MODE section - 1

① ASSIGN MODE [DCA] key

4 Assign channels to other DCA groups in the same way.
5 When you have finished making assignments, press the ASSIGN MODE section ASSIGN MODE [DCA] key to make its LED go dark.

The FADER MODE section [DCA] key will also stop blinking, and return to its previous state.

Hint

  • You can also assign channels to DCA groups from within the display. Input channel DCA assignments are made in the INPUT DCA/GROUP function DCA GROUP ASSIGN screen (▶ p.296), and output channel DCA assignments are made in the OUTPUT DCA/GROUP function DCA GROUP ASSIGN screen (▶ p.258).
  • DCA group settings are saved as part of the scene.

Controlling DCA groups

Here's how you can use the DCA strip to control DCA groups.

1 In the FADER MODE section, make sure that the FADER MODE [DCA] key LED is lit.

The FADER MODE section selects the function of the DCA strip faders. When the FADER MODE [DCA] key LED is lit, you can use the faders of the DCA strip to control DCA groups 1-8.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Controlling DCA groups - 1

2 Use the faders of the channel strip to adjust the relative levels between the channels belonging to the DCA group you want to use.
3 Operate the DCA fader for the DCA group you want to use.

The level of the channels assigned to that DCA fader will change while preserving the level differences you established in step 2.

4 If you want to mute a DCA group, press the [MUTE] key for that DCA group in the DCA strip.

The [MUTE] key will light, and muting will be turned on for channels belonging to that DCA group (the same state as if the faders were lowered to - dB). At this time, the name indicator for that DCA group will be dimmed.

Hint

If desired, you can cause the DCA assign LEDs of the corresponding input channels to blink while the DCA group is muted. To do so, turn on the DCA/MUTE FLASH INDICATE setting in the PREFERENCE 1 screen (UTILITY screen).

5 To un-mute a DCA group, press the lit [MUTE] key in the DCA strip.

Using mute groups

This section explains how to assign channels to mute groups and use the panel keys to control them.

Assigning channels to mute groups

To select the channels that will belong to a specific mute group
1 In the ASSIGN MODE section, press the ASSIGN MODE [MUTE] key.

The ASSIGN MODE [MUTE] key will blink. In the SCENE MEMORY section, the MUTE MASTER LED will also blink. While this key is blinking, you can use the [CUE] key of each channel to assign that channel to a mute group.

2 In the SCENE MEMORY section, use the SCENE MEMORY [1]-[8] keys to select the mute group (1-8) for which you want to make assignments.

While the ASSIGN MODE [MUTE] key is blinking, you can use the SCENE MEMORY [1]-[8] keys to select the mute group for which you will make assignments. Press one of these keys; the LED of that key will blink.

3 Press the [CUE] key of input channels / output channels (you may select more than one) to assign them to the selected mute group.

The [CUE] key will light, and that channel will be assigned to the selected mute group.

Both input channels and output channels can be assigned to mute groups 1-8.

4 Assign channels to other mute groups in the same way.
5 When you have finished making assignments, press the ASSIGN MODE section ASSIGN MODE [MUTE] key to make its LED go dark.

The SCENE MEMORY section MUTE MASTER/DIRECT RECALL LED will also return to its previous state.

Hint

  • You can also assign channels to mute groups from within the display. Input channel assignments are made in the INPUT DCA/GROUP function MUTE GROUP ASSIGN screen (p.297), and output channel assignments are made in the OUTPUT DCA/GROUP function MUTE GROUP ASSIGN screen (p.259).
  • Mute group assignments are saved as part of the scene.

Controlling mute groups

Here's how you can use the SCENE MEMORY [1]–[8] keys of the SCENE MEMORY section to switch mutating on/off for mute groups 1–8.

1 Turn on the MUTE MASTER button located in the lower right of the display.

The DIRECT RECALL button and MUTE MASTER button located in the lower right of the display select the function of the SCENE MEMORY [1]-[8] keys.

The SCENE MEMORY [1]-[8] keys will switch mut-ing on/off for mute groups 1-8.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Controlling mute groups - 1

2 Press the SCENE MEMORY [1]-[8] key for the mute group you want to mute.

The key LED will light, and all channels belonging to the selected mute group will be muted (the same state as when the [ON] key is turned off). You can turn on more than one key to mute multiple mute groups.

3 To un-mute a mute group, press a lit SCENE MEMORY [1]-[8] key.

Hint

  • The mute group mute on/off status is saved in the scene. However, you can also use the Recall Safe function to exclude the mute group status from scene recall.
  • If desired, you can cause the MUTE assign LEDs of the corresponding input channels to blink while the mute group is muted. To do so, turn on the DCA/MUTE FLASH INDICATE setting in the PREFERENCE 1 screen (UTILITY screen).

Using the Mute Safe function

If necessary, channels belonging to a mute group can be temporarily excluded from mute group operations (Mute Safe).

1 Press a [SEL] key to select the channel you want to exclude from mute groups.
2 In the SELECTED CHANNEL section, press the [MUTE SAFE] key to make the LED light.

Mute Safe will be enabled for the corresponding channel. (In the case of an input channel, the [MUTE SAFE] LED in the channel strip will light.) In this state, mating an applicable mute group will not affect that channel.

3 To defeat Mute Safe, press the SELECTED CHANNEL section [MUTE SAFE] key once again to make the LED go dark.

Hint

Mute Safe settings are not saved in the scene. They will remain effective until you manually defeat them.

EQ Link and Compressor Link are functions that respectively link the EQ parameters or compressor parameters of multiple channels. Editing the EQ or compressor parameters of any channel belonging to a link group will similarly edit the other channels in that link group.

1 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the INPUT [DCA/GROUP] key (for an input channel) or OUTPUT [GROUP] key (for an output channel) to access one of the following screens.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Hint - 4

In each screen, the channels (assignment source) are listed horizontally, and the link group number or alphabetical character (assignment destination) are listed vertically.

Hint

The EQ link groups and compressor link groups are independent for input channels and output channels.

A " ⑤ " symbol will appear at the corresponding grid.

To cancel the assignment, click the " " symbol once again.

In the case of output channel EQ link groups, MIX channels and STEREO A/B channels can be assigned only to groups A-F, and MATRIX channels can be assigned only to groups G/H. (Unavailable grids are grayed-out.)

If another channel is already assigned to the assignment-destination group, the EQ and compressor parameters of the previously-assigned channel will be copied to the channel that is added later, causing the settings to be the same.

While the SET BY CUE button is on, you can use the channel [CUE] keys to set or cancel link group assignments.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - If you want to use the [CUE] key of each channel to assign it to a link group, click the SET BY CUE button for the corresponding link group in the screen to turn it on. - 1

Note

  • The SET BY CUE button can be turned on for only one link group.
  • When you switch to a different screen, the SET BY CUE button that was turned on will automatically be defeated.

The EQ or compressor parameters of channels belonging to the same link group will follow your editing.

Hint

Link group settings are saved as part of the scene.

Note

The STEREO LINK button and KEY IN SOURCE settings are not linked even for channels belonging to the same compressor link group.

10 Scene memory

This chapter explains how to store and recall the PM5D's mix parameters as "scenes."

About scenes

The PM5D can store and recall the current state of its mix parameters as a "scene." Scenes are assigned a scene number of 000-500. Scene 000 is read-only, and cannot be overwritten. Other scene numbers may be rewritten freely.

A scene contains the settings of the panel controls (except for the TALKBACK section, CUE/MONITOR section, and the AD IN section of the PM5D model) as well as the settings of the functions and screens listed below.

  • INPUT function settings
  • OUTPUT function settings
  • EFFECT PARAM screen settings
  • GEQ PARAM screen settings
  • SELECTIVE RECALL screen (SCENE function) settings
  • FADE TIME screen (SCENE function) settings
  • MIXER SETUP screen (SYS/W.CLOCK function) settings
  • HA screen (SYS/W.CLOCK function) settings

However, input patch, output patch, and HA (head amp) settings are saved in the corresponding library, and the scene contains only a library number that links to these saved settings.

For example if the input patch, output patch, and HA (head amp) settings have been edited when you store a scene, the changes will be stored in the corresponding library, and the library number of these stored library items will be stored in the scene.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - About scenes - 1
- Storing a scene

Hint

You can choose how the changes will be stored in the library; they can either be stored in a new unused library number, or overwritten onto the existing library number (→ p.89).

When you recall a scene, the input patch, output patch, and HA (head amp) library numbers linked to that scene will be recalled simultaneously.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Hint - 1
Recalling a scene

For each scene, you can specify whether to enable linking to these libraries (→ p.175). For example if you turn off linking to the HA library for a certain scene, recalling that scene will not update the HA settings.

Note

By "head amp settings" we mean settings for the internal head amps of the PM5D-RH model and for an external head amp device that supports the special protocol (e.g., Yamaha AD8HR or AD824). The settings of the AD IN section of the PM5D model are not included.

Hint

If the PM5D and DSP5D are cascade-connected, storing a scene will cause the scene data to be stored in each the PM5D and in the DSP5D.

When a scene is recalled, the same scene number is recalled on all PM5D/DSP5D units.

Items in the SCENE MEMORY section

The SCENE MEMORY section lets you store and recall mix parameters as scene memories. Mute operations for mute groups 1-8 are also performed in this section.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Items in the SCENE MEMORY section - 1

① SCENE MEMORY [1]–[8] keys

The function of these keys will depend on the selection of the DIRECT RECALL button and MUTE MASTER button in the lower right of the display.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - ① SCENE MEMORY [1]–[8] keys - 1

  • When the DIRECT RECALL button is on SCENE MEMORY [1]–[8] keys operate as Direct Recall keys that directly recall the eight scenes assigned to these keys.
  • When the MUTE MASTER button is on SCENE MEMORY [1]–[8] keys operate as Mute Master keys that switch muting on/off for mute groups 1–8.

(2) [DIRECT RECALL]/[MUTE MASTER] indicators

These indicators indicate the currently selected function of the SCENE MEMORY [1]-[8] keys (①).

③ SCENE MEMORY [PREVIEW] key

This key selects either NORMAL mode or Preview mode as the operation when you recall a scene. PREVIEW mode is selected if this key LED is lit; NORMAL mode is selected if it is dark. Operation will differ as follows according to the selected mode.

NORMAL mode

This mode lets you store and recall scenes as usual. When you recall a scene in this mode, the current scene will be overwritten by the settings of the newly recalled scene.

- PREVIEW mode

This mode lets you preview the settings of a scene stored in memory without affecting the signal processing of the current scene. When you recall a scene in this mode, the mix parameter values of that scene will be shown in the PM5D's panel, but the internal signal processing will remain as it was before the recall. When you operate the panel keys or encoders at this time, the panel display will change but internal signal processing will not be affected. If desired, you can save the edited content in the desired scene number or library number.

④ Scene number indicator

This indicate shows the number (000-500) of the scene that is selected for store or recall.

⑤ SCENE MEMORY [UNDO] key

This key cancels the most recently-executed scene recall operation. If you have accidentally recalled an unwanted scene, you can press this key to return to the state prior to recalling the scene.

⑥ SCENE MEMORY [RECALL] key

This key recalls the scene whose number is shown in the scene number indicator (④).

⑦ SCENE MEMORY [▲] /[▼] keys

These keys increment or decrement the number displayed in the scene number indicator (④) . However if the SCENE screen BLANK SKIP button is turned on, you will only be able to select numbers in which a scene is actually stored.

⑧ SCENE MEMORY [STORE] key

This key stores the current scene into the number shown by the scene number indicator (4).

Storing a scene

Here's how to store the current mix settings (the current scene) into a scene memory.

Note

Before you continue with the following procedure, make sure that the SCENE MEMORY section SCENE MEMORY [PREVIEW] key is off (dark). (If it is on, turn it off.)

1 Use the PM5D's panel controls to set the mix parameters as desired.
2 Use the SCENE MEMORY [▲]/[▼] keys to select the store-destination scene number.

When you select a new scene number, the scene number and name shown at the top of the display and the scene number shown in the scene number indicator of the SCENE MEMORY section will blink. This blinking indicates that the settings of the indicated scene differ from the currently-set mix parameters.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 1

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 2

3 Press the SCENE MEMORY [STORE] key.

The SCENE STORE window will appear, allowing you to assign a title to the scene and store it. This window shows the following information.

As the default choice in which edited library settings will be stored when you store a scene, choose either NEW (select an unused library) or OVERWRITE (select the original library).

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 3

An "EDIT" indicator appears here if the library settings have been modified from the state in which they were last stored.

4 Use the SCENE TITLE area to assign a name to the scene. (For details on how to input text p.30)
5 As desired, specify the library numbers in which the input patch, output patch, and HA settings will be stored.

To specify a store-destination library number, scroll the input patch, output patch, or HA library list, and click the desired number. (The number currently selected as the store-destination is highlighted.) The library number you select here is saved as part of the scene.

The default selection of store-destination will depend on the setting in the DEFAULT EDIT LIBRARY NO. area.

  • If the NEW button is on

The lowest of the unused library numbers will be selected.

  • If the OVERWRITE button is on

The number from which the library was originally recalled will be selected. (If this was a read-only library item, the lowest-numbered unused library number will be selected.)

6 Click the STORE button in the window.

A message will ask you to confirm the store operation.

7 Click the OK button.

The current settings will be stored to the scene number you selected in step 2, and the upper part of the screen and the scene number indicators will stop blinking. If any changes have been made to the input patch, output patch, and HA settings used by this scene, they will be stored in the corresponding library number.

Recalling a scene

Here's how to recall a stored scene from memory.

Note

Before you continue with the following procedure, make sure that the SCENE MEMORY section SCENE MEMORY [PREVIEW] key is off (dark). (If it is on, turn it off.)

1 Use the SCENE MEMORY [ ] / [ ] keys to select the scene number that you want to recall.

When you select a new scene number, the scene number and name shown at the top of the display and the scene number shown in the scene number indicator of the SCENE MEMORY section will blink.

2 Press the SCENE MEMORY [RECALL] key.

A message in the display will ask you to confirm the recall operation. When you click the OK button, the scene number you selected in step 1 will be recalled. If input patch, output patch, and HA libraries are linked to that scene, the correspondingly numbered libraries will also be recalled.

Hint

If desired, you can disable the link between the scene and these libraries, so that specific libraries will not be updated when you recall that scene.

Using PREVIEW mode

Preview mode lets you check or edit the settings of a scene stored in memory without affecting the signal processing of the current scene. When you recall a scene in this mode, the settings of the newly recalled scene will appear on the PM5D's panel, but the internal signal processing will remain as it was prior to the recall.

During an actual performance, it can be convenient to use this to check the content of the scene you intend to recall next, or to make minor changes to a scene and then store it.

1 In the SCENE MEMORY section, turn on the SCENE MEMORY [PREVIEW] key.

The key LED will light, and the SCENE MEMORY section will operate in PREVIEW mode. At this time, the scene indicator at the top of the display will turn red, and the "PREVIEW" indicator will appear.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Using PREVIEW mode - 1

While in PREVIEW mode, operating the knobs, encoders, and other controls (except for the TALK-BACK section, CUE/MONITOR section, and the AD IN section of the PM5D model) will not affect the audio signal processing.

2 Use the SCENE MEMORY [ ] / [ ] keys to select the scene number that you want to recall.

The scene number will light in the scene number indicator.

3 Press the SCENE MEMORY [RECALL] key.

Only the setting values of the scene you selected in step 2 will be loaded and shown in the PM5D's panel LEDs and display. However, the internal signal processing of the system will remain unchanged as it was prior to the Recall operation.

If desired, you can access a specific channel in the SELECTED CHANNEL section, or access a specific screen in the display to examine the values in detail.

4 If desired, use the controls of the console to edit the settings.

Operating a panel control in PREVIEW mode will edit the settings of the scene you recalled in step 3, but will not affect the PM5D's internal signal processing.

5 If you want to store the changes you made in step 4, select the scene number in which you want to store the scene, and press the SCENE MEMORY [STORE] key.

The settings you edited in step 4 will be stored into memory.

6 To return the SCENE MEMORY section to NORMAL mode operation, press the SCENE MEMORY [PREVIEW] key to make the key LED go dark.

Note

  • PREVIEW mode applies to all parameters included in scene memory, all parameters included in the INPUT PATCH and OUTPUT PATCH functions, and HA parameters. PREVIEW mode does not apply to parameters other than these.
  • Even while you are in PREVIEW mode, recall operations in the EVENT LIST screen or via MIDI messages will apply to the current scene. While in PREVIEW mode, operations of parameters that can be edited in the USER DEFINED screen will generally apply to PREVIEW mode, not to the current scene.

With the PM5D's default settings, pressing the SCENE MEMORY [STORE] key will open the SCENE STORE window where you can name the scene and store it. If you enable the Auto Store function, you can execute the Store operation simply by pressing the SCENE MEMORY [STORE] key twice. Here's the procedure.

1 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the [UTILITY] key several times to access the PREFERENCE 1 screen shown below.

The PREFERENCE 1 screen is where you can make various default settings for the PM5D.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 1

2 In the STORE/RECALL area at the upper left of the screen, turn on the AUTO STORE button.

The Auto Store function is now enabled. When you press the SCENE MEMORY [STORE] key once, the SCENE STORE window will appear as usual; press the key once again to execute the Store operation. If you rapidly press the key twice, the Store operation will be executed before the SCENE STORE window appears.

Note

Note that if the STORE CONFIRMATION button is turned on in the STORE/RECALL area of this PREFERENCE 1 screen, a window will ask you to confirm the Store operation even if Auto Store is enabled. If you don't want any windows to appear, turn off the STORE CONFIRMATION button as well.

Using the Direct Recall function

If you assign frequently-used scenes to the SCENE MEMORY [1]–[8] keys of the SCENE MEMORY section, you will be able to recall these scenes with a single keystroke.

1 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the [SCENE] key several times to access the SCENE screen shown below.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Using the Direct Recall function - 1

In the SCENE screen you can use the DIRECT RECALL ASSIGN list shown in the lower middle of the screen to assign scene numbers to the SCENE MEMORY [1]-[8] keys.

2 Use the DIRECT RECALL ASSIGN list to assign a scene number to a SCENE MEMORY [1]-[8] key.

Move the cursor to the left-hand field of the DIRECT RECALL ASSIGN list and turn the [DATA] encoder or click the 1 / 2 buttons to select a scene number; the scene name will appear in the field at right.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Using the Direct Recall function - 2

3 Assign scene numbers to other keys in the same way.
4 In the KEY MODE area at the right side (or lower right) of the screen, make sure that the DIRECT RECALL button is turned on. (If it is off, click the DIRECT RECALL button.)

When the DIRECT RECALL button is on, the SCENE MEMORY section [DIRECT RECALL] LED will light, and the SCENE MEMORY [1]-[8] keys will operate as Direct Recall keys.

5 In the SCENE MEMORY section of the console, press one of the SCENE MEMORY [1]-[8] keys.

The LED of the corresponding key will light, and the scene assigned to that key will be recalled.

Using the Selective Recall function

"Selective Recall" is a function that lets you restrict the parameters or channels that will be updated when you recall a specific scene, or, conversely, specify for each scene parameters or channels that will be excluded from recall operations.

Hint

As a function similar to Selective Recall, there is also a "Recall Safe" function that lets you select channels and parameters to be excluded from recall operations (p.94). However it differs from Selective Recall in that Recall Safe settings apply to all scenes.

In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the [SCENE] key several times to access the SELEC-TIVE RECALL screen shown below.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Hint - 1

2 In the SELECTION MODE area in the upper middle of the screen, choose one of the following two selection modes to specify how the SELECTIVE RECALL screen will operate.

  • SAFE PARAMETER mode
    Specify channels/parameters that will be excluded from Recall operations.
  • RECALL PARAMETER mode

Specify channels/parameters that will be affected by Recall operations.

When you click a button to change the mode, a confirmation window will appear. Immediately after you switch modes, all channels/parameters will be subject to recall.

3 Use the buttons in the screen to select the parameters/channels that will be subject to recall (or excluded from recall).

The SELECTIVE RECALL screen is divided into three areas. From the left, these areas let you make settings for input channels, output channels, and other parameters. The buttons in the screen correspond to parameters and channels as follows.

Input channels / Output channels

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Input channels / Output channels - 1

① SAFE ON/OFF RECALL ON/OFF

The functions and names of these buttons will depend on the currently-chosen SELECTION MODE.

  • SAFE PARAMETER mode
    The buttons will function as SAFE ON/OFF buttons to select the channels that will be excluded from Recall.
  • RECALL PARAMETER mode

The buttons will function as RECALL ON/OFF buttons to select the channels that will be subject to Recall.

② Parameter matrix grid

Here you can select the parameters that will be excluded from (or subject to) Recall. If the ALL button is on, all parameters will be excluded from (or subject to) Recall.

③ SET ALL

Turns on all buttons for all input channels/output channels or for the corresponding parameter.

(4) CLEAR ALL

Turns off all buttons for all input channels/output channels or for the corresponding parameter.

Other parameters

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Other parameters - 1

① DCA/GEQ/EFFECT

These buttons specify whether DCA groups, GEQ modules, and internal effects will be excluded from (or subject to) Recall.

Note

DCA groups provide a WITH NAME button. This button excludes the DCA group name from the recall operation (or selects it as the object of recall).

(2) MUTE MASTER

This button specifies whether the Mute Master key on/off status will be excluded from (or subject to) Recall.

③ MIDI REMOTE (PM5D only)

These buttons specify whether MIDI remote layers A-D will be excluded from (or subject to) Recall.

④ PLUG-IN (PM5D only)

These buttons specify whether the Waves plug-in DSP cards Y96K installed in slots 1-4 will be excluded from (or subject to) Recall.

⑤ SET ALL

This button turns on all buttons for parameters ①-④.

(6) CLEAR ALL

This button turns off all buttons for parameters ①-④.

4 In the upper left of the screen, switch the SELECTIVE RECALL ENABLED/DISABLED button to ENABLED.

When this button is set to ENABLED, the Selective Recall function will apply to subsequently-stored scenes.

5 Store the current scene.

The settings of the SELECTIVE RECALL screen will be saved as part of the scene. When you recall this scene, only the selected channels/parameters will be excluded from (or subject to) Recall.

Note

  • If you edit the settings of the SELECTIVE RECALL screen, you must store that scene in order to make your changes effective.
  • Recall Safe and Selective Recall can be used together. Channels/parameters excluded from recall operations by either Recall Safe or Selective Recall (or both) will not be recalled.

Using the Recall Safe function

"Recall Safe" is a function that excludes only specific parameters/channel from Recall operations. This differs from the Selective Recall settings (p.92) made for individual scenes in that Recall Safe settings are common to all scenes.

1 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the [SCENE] key several times to access the RECALL SAFE screen shown below.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Using the Recall Safe function - 1

2 Use the buttons in the screen to select the parameters/channels that will be excluded from Recall operations.

The function of the buttons in the screen and the procedures are the same as in the SELECTIVE RECALL screen (when SAFE PARAMETER mode is selected), except for the fact that HA (Head Amp) SAFE ON/OFF button is added as a parameter in the INPUT SAFE PARAMETER area.

The [RCL SAFE] indicator of the channel strip will light for input channels, STEREO A/B channels, and DCA groups for which Recall Safe is turned on.

Hint

  • In the RECALL SAFE screen, clicking the parameter matrix grid will display a “G” symbol with a “G” character in the center. This “G” indicates that the setting is global, and applies to all scenes.
  • If desired, you can copy and paste Selective Recall settings from the currently selected scene into the RECALL SAFE screen (p.183).
  • If you scroll the scroll bar downward, you will see that the CH column of the SAFE PARAMETERS area shows not only input channels but also input ports. If you set the HA of a certain input port to Recall Safe, the HA of the corresponding channel will also be set to Recall Safe. Even if they are assigned to multiple channels, the HA Recall Safe settings for corresponding input ports/channels will be linked.
  • If necessary, you can turn on the HA+CH button in the SAFE KEY MODE SELECT area, so that when recall safe is turned on/off using the panel [RECALL SAFE] key or the RECALL SAFE button in the CH VIEW screen (INPUT VIEW function), recall safe will be also be turned on/off for the HA patched to the corresponding channel.
  • Separately from the conventional Recall Safe functionality, the OUTPUT ISOLATION field allows you to specify output channels and parameters excluded from recall to be memorized in SETUP memory (which is not subject to memory card load operations) ( p.182).

3 If you want to use the panel to switch Recall Safe on/off for a channel, use the [SEL] key to select a channel and then press the SELECTED CHANNEL section [RECALL SAFE] key to make the key LED light.

Recall Safe will be turned on for the corresponding channel.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Hint - 1

Note

By default, ALL is selected as the parameters that will be excluded from recall. This means that if you turn on Recall Safe from the panel, the Recall Safe setting will affect all parameters of the channel(s) for which it is turned on.

After you have finished making Recall Safe settings and you recall a scene, only the selected channels/parameters will be excluded from the Recall operation.

Note

Recall Safe and Selective Recall can be used together. Channels/parameters excluded from recall operations by either Recall Safe or Selective Recall (or both) will not be recalled.

"Fade" is a function that smoothly changes fader and pan to their new values over a specified duration when you recall a scene. The settings of the Fade function are made independently for each scene.

1 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the [SCENE] key several times to access the FADE TIME screen shown below.

In this screen you can select the channels that will use the Fade function, and specify the fade time and start offset time.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the [SCENE] key several times to access the FADE TIME screen shown below. - 1

2 In the upper left of the screen, click the FAD-ING ENABLED/DISABLED button to select ENABLED.

When the FADING ENABLED/DISABLED button is set to ENABLED, the Fade function will be enabled for the faders in the current scene.

3 In the upper right of the screen, make sure that the FADE TIME button is on.

The FADE TIME/START OFFSET buttons in the upper right of the screen select the parameter that will be edited in the lower part of the FADE TIME screen. When this button is on, you can specify the fade time (the time over which fader and pan parameters will reach their new value) for each channel.

4 In the rows of buttons at the bottom of the screen, click to turn on the buttons of the channels for which you want to enable the Fade function.

By clicking the SET ALL buttons located at the right of the screen, you can turn on the buttons of all input channels and all DCA groups, or the buttons of all output channels.

By clicking the CLEAR ALL buttons located at the right of the screen, you can turn off the buttons of all input channels and all DCA groups, or the buttons of all output channels.

5 Move the cursor to the box located immediately below each button, and turn the [DATA] encoder to specify the fade time for that channel. (Alternatively, click the 4 / 6 buttons at the left and right of the box.)

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Move the cursor to the box located immediately below each button, and turn the [DATA] encoder to specify the fade time for that channel. (Alternatively, click the 4 / 6 buttons at the left and right of the box.) - 1

Hint

If the numerical value is displayed in light blue when you perform the above actions, this indicates that an offset time has been specified for the corresponding channel.

6 In the same way, specify the fade time for other channels as well.

If desired, you can easily copy the fade time setting of a channel to another channel ( p.185).

7 In the upper right of the screen, click the START OFFSET button to turn it on.

When the START OFFSET button is on, you can specify an offset time for each channel (the time from when the scene is recalled until the fader or pan parameter begins to change).

As you did in steps 4-6, specify an offset time for each channel.

9 If you want to enable the Fade function not only for faders but also for the PAN (BALANCE) parameters of input channels, set the INPUT CH PANNING ENABLED/DISABLED button (located in the upper middle of the screen) to ENABLED.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - If you want to enable the Fade function not only for faders but also for the PAN (BALANCE) parameters of input channels, set the INPUT CH PANNING ENABLED/DISABLED button (located in the upper middle of the screen) to ENABLED. - 1

The FADING ENABLED/DISABLED button and INPUT CH PANNING ENABLED/DISABLED button can be set independently. Use the following two buttons to select the input channels to which this will apply.

- When the ALL INPUT button is on

The Fade function will apply to the pan (balance) parameter of all input channels.

- When the SAME AS FADING button is on

The Fade function will apply to the pan (balance) parameters of only the input channels selected in step 4.

10 When you have finished making settings, store the scene.

The settings in the FADE TIME screen are saved independently for each scene. The Fade function will apply when you recall a scene for which this button is set to ENABLED. After recall, the fader and pan (balance) parameter values will begin changing when the specified Start Offset Time has elapsed, and will reach their new values over the specified Fade Time.

Using the Tracking Recall function

"Tracking Recall" is a function that adds a specified offset value to each fader or level value when a scene is recalled. Tracking Recall settings are common to all scenes. For example if the original level of a certain sound source has changed, or if an actor was replaced by an understudy, this function provides a convenient way to adjust the level of that specific channel for all scenes.

1 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the [SCENE] key several times to access the TRACKING RECALL screen shown below.

In this screen you can select the channels that will use the Tracking Recall function, and specify the offset value for each channel.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the [SCENE] key several times to access the TRACKING RECALL screen shown below. - 1

2 In the upper left of the screen, click the TRACKING RECALL ENABLED/DISABLED button to make it indicate ENABLED.

When the TRACKING RECALL ENABLED/DISABLED button is set to ENABLED, the Tracking Recall function will be enabled for all scenes.

3 Using the buttons of the DISPLAY SELECT area in the upper middle of the screen, select the type of channels for which you want to make settings.

- If the INPUT button is on

The screen will show the faders of input channels 1-48, ST IN channels 1-4, FX RTN channels 1-4, DCA groups 1-8, and STEREO A/B channels.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - - If the INPUT button is on - 1

- If the OUTPUT button is on

The screen will show the faders of MIX channels 1-24, MATRIX channels 1-8, DCA groups 7/8, and STE-REO A/B channels.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - - If the OUTPUT button is on - 1

4 In the row of buttons above the faders in the screen, click to turn on the buttons of the channels for which you want to enable the Tracking Recall function.

Clicking the SET ALL button located in the upper right of the screen will turn on the buttons of all channels and DCA groups.

Clicking the CLEAR ALL button located in the upper right of the screen will turn off the buttons of all channels and DCA groups.

5 To set the offset value for each channel, drag the fader upward or downward for a channel whose button you have turned on.

When you turn on the setting for a channel in step 4, the offset value is set to 0. The offset value can be adjusted in a range of -15dB to +15dB . The current value is shown in the box immediately below the fader.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - To set the offset value for each channel, drag the fader upward or downward for a channel whose button you have turned on. - 1

6 In the same way, specify the offset value for other channels as well.

7 When you have finished making settings, turn on the OFFSET LOCK button located in the upper right of the screen.

When this button is on, the offset values currently specified for the channels will be fixed; this prevents the offset values from being unintentionally changed.

When you recall a new scene in this state, the offset values will be added to the level of each channel when the scene is loaded. (However, the upper and lower level limits will not be exceeded.)

Note

Channels that are excluded from Recall operations by the Recall Safe or Selective Recall functions will not change even if Tracking Recall is turned on.

"Global Paste" is a function that lets you copy and paste settings of the desired channel or parameter from the current scene to scene data in memory (multiple selections are allowed). This is a convenient way in which changes to the current scene can be applied to scenes that have already been stored.

In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the [SCENE] key several times to access the GLOBAL PASTE screen shown below.

In this screen you can select the copy-source channels/ parameters and specify the paste-destination scene data.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the [SCENE] key several times to access the GLOBAL PASTE screen shown below. - 1

2 Use the buttons in the PASTE MODE area to select one of the following as the type of item you want to paste.

INPUTInput channel parameters
OUTPUTOutput channel parameters
DCA, GEQ, EFFECTDCA level or mute on/off status, GEQ settings, internal effect settings

3 In the CURRENT SCENE area, select the copy-source channels or parameters.

The contents shown in the CURRENT SCENE area will depend on what you select in the PASTE MODE area.

- When PASTE MODE = INPUT

Select input channels in the left area, and select parameters in the right area. (For details on the parameters p.187).

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - - When PASTE MODE = INPUT - 1

- When PASTE MODE = OUTPUT

Select output channels in the left area, and select parameters in the right area. (For details on the parameters p.187).

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - - When PASTE MODE = OUTPUT - 1

  • When PASTE MODE = DCA, GEQ, EFFECT

Select DCA groups, GEQ modules, and internal effects.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - - When PASTE MODE = OUTPUT - 2

Hint

In either of these modes, you can click the SET ALL button to turn on all channels, or click the CLEAR ALL button to turn off all channels.

4 In the DESTINATION SCENE area, select the paste-destination scene(s).

To select a single scene, click the desired line in the upper half of the list.

To select multiple consecutive scenes, use the upper half of the list to click the scene number at which you want to begin pasting, and use the lower half of the list to click the scene number at which you want to stop pasting.

The order in which the scenes are listed can be changed by clicking one of the buttons at the top of the list; the

  • button (sort by number), SCENE TITLE button (sort by scene title), or TIME STAMP button (sort by the date on which the scene was saved).

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - In the DESTINATION SCENE area, select the paste-destination scene(s). - 1

5 Click the PASTE button.

The selected items of the current scene will be pasted to the scene(s) in memory.

Note

  • If the parameter settings differ between the copy-source and paste-destination, exception handling may be applied when the data is pasted (p.188).
  • Only the parameters selected by PASTE MODE will be pasted. Note that even if you selected parameters in the CURRENT SCENE area, they will be excluded from the paste operation if you switch the PASTE MODE.

11 Monitor and Cue

This chapter explains the PM5D's Monitor and Cue functions.

About the MONITOR and CUE sections

The MONITOR section sends the signal selected as the monitor source to the MONITOR OUT jacks. You can select the following signals as the monitor source.

  • The input signal from 2TR IN ANALOG jacks 1/2
    The input signal from 2TR IN DIGITAL jacks 1-3
  • The output signal of the STEREO A/B channels
    The output signal of the LCR channels
    The output signal of a pre-selected MIX channel 1-24 or MATRIX channel 1-8

Note

If the PM5D is cascade-connected to the DSP5D, the DSP5D's cue operations will occur in tandem.

The CUE section sends the cue signal of the channel/group selected by a panel [CUE] key to the CUE OUT jacks.

Hint

If the CUE INTERRUPTION button is turned on in the MONITOR screen (MON/CUE function), the Cue/Solo signal will also be sent from the MONITOR OUT jacks when Cue/Solo is active.

Note

Since the DSP5D does not have monitor functionality, the keys and knobs of the MONITOR section will always operate the settings of machine #1 (PM5D).

Similarly, the CUE [LEVEL] knob will always operate the settings of machine #1 (PM5D).

Monitoring a signal

Here we explain how you can use the MONITOR section to monitor the desired source.

1 Make sure that your monitor system is connected to the rear panel MONITOR OUT jacks L/R/C.

If you want to monitor through headphones, make sure they are connected to the top panel or front panel PHONES jack.

Note

  • Since the DSP5D does not have monitor functionality, the PM5D's MONITOR section will always operate the monitor settings of machine #1 (PM5D).
  • MONITOR OUT jack C is a special jack used to monitor the center channel when LCR mode is active. Note that the appropriate signal will not be output from MONITOR OUT jack C unless the LCR channel is selected as the monitor source and the USE AS CENTER BUS button is turned on in the MIXER SETUP screen (SYS/W.CLOCK function) ( p.222) .
  • Turning on the [CUE] key of even one input channel, output channel, or DCA group will override the settings of the MONITOR section and cause the Cue signal to be output from the MONITOR OUT jacks. Make sure that the CUE section [INPUT]/[DCA]/[OUTPUT] LEDs are not lit.

2 To specify the channel that will be selected by the [DEFINE] key, press the DISPLAY ACCESS section [MON/CUE] key repeatedly to access the MONITOR screen shown below.

Using the Cue/Solo functions

Items in the CUE section

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Items in the CUE section - 1

① [INPUT]/[DCA]/[OUTPUT] LEDs

These LEDs indicate the monitoring status. If even one [CUE] key is on, the LED of the group to which that key belongs will light. If a special Cue signal such as KEY IN CUE or EFFECT CUE is active, all three LEDs will light.

② [SOLO] key

This selects how monitoring will occur when you use the [CUE] keys. If this key is on, monitoring will operate in SOLO mode. If this key is off, monitoring will operate in CUE mode.

(3) [LAST CUE] key

This selects the mode of operation when more than one [CUE] key is on. Turning the key on selects LAST CUE mode; turning the key off selects MIX CUE mode. When you switch this mode, Cue will be turned off for all channels.

④ CUE [LEVEL] knob

This adjusts the signal level that is sent from the CUE OUT jacks.

⑤ [OUTPUT PFL] key

This switches the location from which the signal is sent to the CUE bus when you turn on the [CUE] key of an output channel (MIX channel, MATRIX channel, STE-REO A/B channel). If this key is on, the PFL (prefader) signal will be sent. If this key is off, the POST ON (immediately after the [ON] key) signal will be sent.

About CUE mode and SOLO mode

The PM5D lets you select either SOLO mode or CUE mode when using the [CUE] key to monitor signals. Use the [SOLO] key in the CUE section of the panel to switch the mode.

In CUE mode, holding down the [SOLO] key will switch to SOLO mode; the [CUE] keys of all channels will go dark. Conversely in SOLO mode, pressing the [SOLO] key will immediately switch to CUE mode.

These modes differ as follows.

CUE mode

The cue signals of channels / DCA groups whose [CUE] key is on will be sent via the CUE bus and output from the CUE OUT jacks (Cue function). Choose this method when you want to monitor a signal without affecting other channels. When the PM5D is in the default state, the cue signal can also be monitored from the MONITOR OUT jacks.

SOLO mode

Only the channels / DCA groups whose [CUE] key is on will be output from the MIX/MATRIX/STEREO buses, and other channels / DCA groups will be muted (Solo function). The MONITOR OUT jacks also will output only the signal from these same channels / DCA groups.

Note

  • If an input channel is soloed, the on/off setting of the output channels will remain unchanged; only the signal of the corresponding input channel will be sent to the buses. If an output channel is soloed, the on/off setting of the input channels will remain unchanged; the signal will be sent only to the corresponding bus.
  • If a DCA group is soloed, only the signals of input channels belonging to that DCA group will be output to the corresponding buses. However if output channels are assigned to DCA groups 7/8, signals will be sent only to buses belonging to that DCA group.

Hint

If desired, you can exclude specific channels from Solo operations (→ p.241).

Cue and Solo groups

The PM5D's cue and solo signals can be categorized into the following four groups.

- INPUT CUE group

The cue/solo signals of input channels make up this group. This group becomes active when a [CUE] key of an input channel, ST IN channel, or FX RTN channel is pressed to turn it on.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - - INPUT CUE group - 1

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - - INPUT CUE group - 2

DCA CUE group

The cue/solo signals of DCA groups make up this group. This group becomes active when a [CUE] key in the DCA strip is pressed to turn it on.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - DCA CUE group - 1

OUTPUT CUE group

The cue/solo signals of output channels make up this group. This group becomes active when a [CUE] key of a MIX channel, MATRIX channel, or STEREO A/B channel is pressed to turn it on.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - OUTPUT CUE group - 1

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - OUTPUT CUE group - 2

- Other CUE group

This group consists of the cue/solo signals operated by the CUE buttons in the display. This group becomes active when you click to turn on a CUE button in the EFFECT PARAM screen (EFFECT function) or GATE PARAM screen (INPUT GATE/COMP function).

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - - Other CUE group - 1

-CUE button in the display

It is not possible to simultaneously turn on Cue between different groups. Normally, the group to which the most recently pressed [CUE] key (CUE button) belongs will take priority, and the [CUE] keys of the previously selected group will be defeated.

However if you have switched cue/solo signal groups in a certain order, the [CUE] key status of the previously selected group will be recovered when you turn off the [CUE] key (CUE button) to defeat the current cue/solo selection.

The [CUE] key status can be recovered for the following combinations of groups.

OUTPUT CUE group DCA CUE group
OUTPUT CUE group INPUT CUE group
DCA CUE group INPUT CUE group
- INPUT CUE / OUTPUT CUE / DCA CUE group Other CUE group

For example if you switch groups in the order of OUTPUT CUE group DCA CUE group INPUT CUE group Other CUE group, you can then successively defeat the [CUE] keys (CUE buttons) to recover the [CUE] key status of the previously selected group.

Using the Cue function

This section explains how you can use the [CUE] key of a desired channel or DCA group to monitor the Cue signal.

Note

If you want the cue/solo signal to be output from the MONITOR OUT jacks as well, access the MONITOR screen (MON/CUE function) and make sure that the CUE INTERRUPTION ON/OFF button is on before you continue with the following procedure ( p.239) .

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 1

Using the [OUTPUT PFL] key of the CUE section, select one of the following as the output position of the signal sent to the CUE bus when an output channel [CUE] key is pressed.

  • PFL ([OUTPUT PFL] key is on)
    The signal from immediately before the fader will be sent to the CUE bus.
  • POST ON ([OUTPUT PFL] key is off)

The signal from immediately after the [ON] key will be sent to the CUE bus.

Hint

The above setting can also be made in the CUE screen (MON/CUE function) ( p.240) . In this screen you can also specify the output position of the signal sent from input channels and DCA groups to the CUE bus.

2 In the CUE section, use the [LAST CUE] key to specify the mode of operation when more than one [CUE] key within the same group is turned on.

LAST CUE mode ([LAST CUE] key is on)
Only the channel/group whose [CUE] key was last turned on will be monitored.
- MIX CUE mode ([LAST CUE] key is off)
Channels/groups within the same group whose [CUE] key is turned on will be monitored.

Note

  • [CUE] keys belonging to different groups cannot be turned on simultaneously. The group to which the last-pressed [CUE] key belongs will be turned on, allowing the signals of that group to be monitored.
  • If you press the [CUE] key of a paired channel, both channels will be turned on.

3 Make sure that the [SOLO] key in the CUE section is turned off.

4 Press the [CUE] key of a desired channel or DCA group to turn it on.

The cue signal of the corresponding channel will be output from the CUE OUT jacks and the MONITOR OUT jacks.

5 To defeat Cue, press the currently-on [CUE] key once again.

Hint

If you press the [LAST CUE] key to switch from LAST CUE mode to MIX CUE mode (or vice versa), all previously-enabled Cue (Solo) signals will be defeated. For example if you have turned on multiple [CUE] keys in MIX CUE mode, you can quickly turn them all off by pressing the [LAST CUE] key twice.

Using the Solo function

This section explains how to use the Solo function.

1 Use the [LAST CUE] key of the CUE section to specify the mode of operation when a [CUE] key is turned on (LAST CUE mode or MIX CUE mode).

2 In the CUE section, press and hold the [SOLO] key.

When you press and hold the [SOLO] key, the key LED will blink and SOLO mode will be enabled. In SOLO mode, only the signal of the channel or DCA group whose [CUE] key is turned on will be sent to the MIX, MATRIX, and STEREO buses. The same signal can also be monitored from the MONITOR OUT jacks and CUE OUT jacks.

Hint

If desired, you can exclude specific channels or groups from Solo operations (for details, refer to p.241).

3 Turn on the [CUE] key of a desired channel or DCA group.

Only the corresponding channel or DCA group will be output to the buses and output jacks; the remaining channels and DCA groups will be muted. The same signal will also be output from the CUE OUT jacks and the MONITOR OUT jacks.

Note

If you turn on the [CUE] key of an output channel, the signal will be sent only to the corresponding bus.

4 To defeat Solo, press the [SOLO] key.

If you press the [SOLO] key while in SOLO mode, you will immediately return to CUE mode.

Hint

Normally, the Cue/Solo functions can be operated independently of scene memories.

12 Talkback and Oscillator

This chapter explains how to use talkback and oscillator.

About the TALKBACK/OSCILLATOR sections

The TALKBACK and OSCILLATOR sections let you send the signal of a mic connected to the TALKBACK jack or the signal of a test oscillator to the desired output jacks.

Signal flow in the TALKBACK/OSCILLATOR sections is as follows.

Items in the TALKBACK/OSCILLATOR sections

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - About the TALKBACK/OSCILLATOR sections - 3

① TALKBACK jack

This is a balanced XLR-3-31 jack to which a talkback mic can be connected. You can make settings in the display to supply +48V phantom power to this jack.

② TALKBACK [LEVEL] knob

This adjusts the input level of the mic connected to the TALKBACK jack.

③ TALKBACK [ON] key

This switches the talkback signal on/off. When you press and hold the key, talkback will be on as long as you hold down the key. If you press and immediately release the key, talkback will remain on until you press the key once again.

However if the NEVER LATCH button is turned on in the TALKBACK screen, talkback will be on only while you hold down the key, and will turn off when you release the key; i.e., talkback will not "latch" even if you press and immediately release the key.

④ OSCILLATOR [ON] key

This is an on/off switch for the signal sent from the internal oscillator to the specified bus(es).

Note

If the OSCILLATOR [ON] key is off, and a screen other than the OSCILLATOR screen (TALKBACK function) is displayed, pressing this key will only display the OSCILLATOR screen; the key will not turn on. When you press the key once again, it will turn on. If the key is on, pressing it once again will turn it off regardless of the screen that is displayed.

Using talkback

Here's how the talkback signal input from the TALKBACK jack can be sent to the desired bus(es).

1 Repeatedly press the [MON/CUE] key of the DISPLAY ACCESS section until the TALKBACK screen appears.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Repeatedly press the [MON/CUE] key of the DISPLAY ACCESS section until the TALKBACK screen appears. - 1

Note

If you select the DSP5D when cascade-connected to the DSP5D, the TALKBACK IN field will not be displayed.

2 Turn the TALKBACK [LEVEL] knob to adjust the input sensitivity of the talkback mic.

The meter in the TALKBACK IN area indicates the input level of the mic connected to the TALKBACK jack. If you want phantom power (+48V) to be supplied to the TALKBACK jack, turn on the +48V button located in the TALKBACK IN area.

Hint

The INPUT TO TALKBACK area also lets you use any INPUT jack 1-48 as a supplementary input for talkback.

3 Click a button in the BUS ASSIGN area to specify the bus(es) to which the talkback signal will be sent (multiple selections are allowed).

These buttons correspond to the following buses.

MIX 1-24 buttonsMIX buses 1-24
MATRIX 1-8 buttonsMATRIX buses 1-8
STEREO AL/RSTEREO A bus L/R channels
STEREO BL/RSTEREO B bus L/R channels

Hint

If desired, the talkback signal can also be output directly from an output channel of slot 1-4 or from 2TR OUT DIGITAL jacks 1-3. To do so, click the PATCH button in the TALKBACK OUT area to access the OUTPUT PATCH screen, and patch talkback to the jack you want to use for direct output.

4 To enable talkback, press the TALKBACK [ON] key in the TALKBACK section of the panel to turn it on.

The TALKBACK [ON] key can operate in either of the following two ways, depending on the setting of the NEVER LATCH button in the TALKBACK area.

- If the NEVER LATCH button is off

Talkback will be switched on/off each time you press the TALKBACK [ON] key (Latched). However if you press and hold down the TALKBACK [ON] key, talkback will remain on only while you continue holding down the key, and will turn off when you release the key (Unlatched).

- If the NEVER LATCH button is on

Talkback will be on only while you continue holding down the TALKBACK [ON] key, and will turn off when you release the key (Unlatched).

Hint

  • The TALKBACK [ON] key of the panel and the TALKBACK ON/OFF button in the screen are linked. The setting of the NEVER LATCH button also affects both of these. However if the NEVER LATCH button is off, holding down the on-screen TALKBACK ON/OFF button will cause Latched operation.
  • When talkback is on, you can use the talkback dimmer to lower the monitor levels other than talkback ( p.239).
  • You can also assign the talkback function to a user-defined key ( p.208).

The PM5D contains a test oscillator. By outputting the oscillator signal to the desired bus you can check the operation of connected devices or test the acoustics of a hall.

Hint

  • If you selected SINE WAVE 2CH as the oscillator type, the L-channel signal of the oscillator will be sent to odd-numbered buses (or the L output jack) and the R-channel signal of the oscillator will be sent to even-numbered buses (or the R output jack).
  • You can use the OSC OUT area to directly output the oscillator signal from an output jack or slot ( p.237).

5 Press the OSCILLATOR [ON] key of the OSCILLATOR section.

The oscillator signal will be sent to the bus you selected in step 4. When you press the key again, the oscillator will turn off.

Hint

The OSCILLATOR [ON] key of the panel and the OSC ON/OFF button in the screen are linked.

Note

If the OSCILLATOR [ON] key is off, and a screen other than the OSCILLATOR screen (TALKBACK function) is displayed, pressing this key will only display the OSCILLATOR screen; the key will not turn on. When you press the key once again, it will turn on.

14 Effects

This chapter explains the functionality and operation of the PM5D's internal effects.

About the internal effects

The PM5D contains eight internal effect modules. For each module, you can choose one of 55 effect types for the module to use.

Note

The eight effects can also be used as GEQ modules (p.119).

To use an internal effect via send/return, assign the output of a MIX channel to the input of the effect, and assign the output of the effect to an input channel. In this case, the corresponding MIX bus is used as an effect send AUX bus, and the input channel is used as an effect return channel. By default, the L/R outputs of effects 1-4 are assigned to L/ R of FX RTN channels 1-4.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 1

Alternatively, you can insert an internal effect into a channel by assigning the input/output of the internal effect to the insert-out/insert-in of the desired channel.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 2

The PM5D's effect types fall into two categories; "stereo effect types" which process the L/R channel input signals independently, and "mix effect types" which mix the two channels before processing the signal.

If signals are assigned to both the L and R inputs of an effect, the way in which the L/R channels are processed will depend on whether a Stereo effect type or a Mix effect type is selected, as follows.

  • Stereo effect types

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 3

  • Mix effect types

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 4

If a signal is assigned to only one input of an effect, it will be processed as mono-in/stereo-out regardless of whether a Stereo effect type or Mix effect type is selected.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 5

Using an internal effect via a MIX bus

This section explains how to use an internal effect via a MIX bus. As an example, we will choose effect 1 for our operations, assign MIX bus 1 to the effect input, and assign the effect output to FX RTN channels 1/2 .

1 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, repeatedly press the INPUT [PAN/Routing] key to access the CH to MIX screen.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Using an internal effect via a MIX bus - 1

2 Make sure that the MIX bus 1 type selection box indicates "VARI."

If the box indicates "FIXED," click the + / + buttons at left and right to change the indication to "VARI"; then press the [ENTER] key (or click inside the box) to finalize the change.

This box selects the operation of the MIX bus (VARI or FIXED). If VARI is selected, the bus send levels will be adjustable.

Hint

The VAR/FIXED selection is made for two adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered MIX buses. If the effect input is stereo, it is convenient to pair these two MIX buses.

3 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, repeatedly press the [EFFECT] key to access the EFFECT PARAM screen.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Hint - 1

4 Make sure that the box in the upper left of the screen indicates EFFECT 1.

This box lets you select the effect module that you want to control. If a different effect module is selected, click the / buttons at left and right to select EFFECT 1.

Hint

You can access the EFFECT ASSIGN screen (EFFECT function) to see all eight effect modules at once while you assign signal routes to the effect inputs and outputs, or operate Bypass and Cue ( p.168) .

5 In the INPUT area, click the l buttons at the left and right of the L CH box to select MIX 1 (MIX channel 1); then press the [ENTER] key (or click within the box).

This assigns the output of MIX channel 1 to the L input of the effect.

If a signal route is already assigned, a window will appear when you press the [ENTER] key, asking you to confirm the assignment. Click the OK button to confirm the assignment.

If you want to use the effect input in stereo, assign MIX channel 2 to the R CH box in the same way.

6 In the OUTPUT area, make sure that the L CH box indicates FX RTN1L and the R CH box indicates FX RTN1R.

The L CH/R CH boxes in the OUTPUT area select the input channels that are assigned to the L/R outputs of the effect.

By default, the L/R outputs of effect 1 are assigned to FX RTN channel 1 (L/R). If different channels are selected, use the 4 / 5 buttons at the left and right of the boxes to select FX RTN1L and FX RTN1R respectively.

7 Set the MIX BALANCE knob to about 100.

The MIX BALANCE knob adjusts the balance between the original sound and effect sound included in the output signal from the effect. If this knob is at the 100 (%) position, only the effect sound will be output.

8 In the ENCODER MODE section, press the MIX SEND SELECT [1] key to make the encoder mode indicator show "1".

In this state you can use the input channel encoders to adjust the send level from each channel to MIX bus 1.

9 Turn the encoders of the INPUT channel strip and ST IN channel strip to adjust the send level of the signal sent from each channel to MIX bus 1.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Hint - 1

Don't raise the encoder of the FX RTN channel you are using as the effect return. Doing so will send the output of the effect back to the input, possibly causing oscillation.

Hint

  • The send position of the signals sent from input channels to the MIX bus can be specified for each channel ( p.51).
  • As an alternate way to adjust the send level, you can turn on the [MIX SEND] key of the MIX section, then use a [SEL] key to select an input channel and turn the corresponding MIX encoder (→ p.51).

10 In the MIX section, press the [MIX MASTER] key to turn it on (LED lit).

When the [MIX MASTER] key is on, you can use the controls of the MIX section to control MIX channels 1-24.

11 Press the MIX channel 1 MIX [ON] key to turn it on. Use the MIX encoder of that MIX channel to adjust the master send level of the signal sent to the effect.

12 In the FX RTN channel strip, press the FX RTN channel 1 [ON] key to turn it on.
13 Use the FX RTN channel 1 fader to adjust the effect return level.

Hint

The input/output levels of the effect can be viewed in the meters shown in the EFFECT PARAM screen or EFFECT ASSIGN screen.

Inserting an internal effect into a channel

Using the Tap Tempo function

This section explains how to use the Tap Tempo function. "Tap tempo" is a function that lets you specify the delay time of a delay effect or the modulation speed of a modulation effect by striking a key at the desired interval.

1 From the effect library, recall a library item whose effect type uses a TEMPO parameter (e.g., Delay+ER., Echo, Chorus).

TEMPO is a parameter that specifies a time-related effect parameter (the DELAY parameter of Delay+ER, or Echo, or the FREQ. parameter of Chorus, etc.) in terms of a BPM value or a manual setting. The TEMPO parameter is included in delay-type effects or modulation-type effects, and is shown in the lower left of the EFFECT PARAM screen.

Hint

For details on the parameters of each effect type, refer to the Appendices at the end of this manual ( p.325).

2 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, repeatedly press the [EFFECT] key to access the EFFECT PARAM screen.

Hint

  • GEQ module settings are saved as part of the scene. You can also save desired GEQ module settings in a library. For details, refer to the Reference section GEQ LIBRARY screen (▶ p.174).
  • When the display switches to another screen, the UPPER or LOWER assignments are forcibly defeated, and you won't be able to operate this even if you once again access the GEQ PARAM screen. However if you leave the ASSIGN TO SELECTED CH field's AUTO ASSIGN button on, the previously-operated band will automatically be assigned to the SELECTED CHANNEL section when you access the GEQ PARAM screen.

16 Remote control

This chapter explains how you can use MIDI or GPI to control the PM5D's parameters from an external device, or conversely how you can use the PM5D to control external devices.

MIDI on the PM5D

The PM5D can use MIDI to perform the following operations.

  • Program Change transmission and reception When you execute a specific event (scene/effect library recall) on the PM5D, a program change message of the corresponding number can be transmitted to an external device. Conversely, the corresponding events can be executed when program change messages are received from an external device.
  • Control Change transmission and reception When you execute a specific event (fader/encoder or key operation) on the PM5D, a control change message of the corresponding number can be transmitted to an external device. Conversely, events can be executed when control change messages are received from an external device. This capability can be used to record fader and key operations on a MIDI sequencer or other external device, and play back this data later. System exclusive messages can also be used to transmit or receive bulk data (scene or library content) or parameters.

  • MIDI Remote function

  • You can assign MIDI messages to the controls of the INPUT/ST IN channel strip, and transmit those MIDI messages by operating the controls. This capability can be used for remote control of external MIDI devices such as synthesizers, or to control the parameters of DAW software or a HDR unit.
  • MIDI Event transmission MIDI messages can be registered independently for each scene in scene memory, and transmitted when that scene is recalled.

Note

For each of the above functions, the MIDI port used to transmit/receive MIDI messages can be selected from the rear panel MIDI IN/OUT connectors, the rear panel USB connector, and an I/O card installed in slots 1 through 4. (If the USB connector or an I/O card is selected, you can additionally choose from ports 1 through 8.) However, MIDI Event transmission is fixed at the MIDI OUT connector.

Using program changes to control events

The PM5D lets you assign specific events (scene recall / effect library recall) to each MIDI program number, so that the correspondingly-numbered program change message will be transmitted to an external device when you execute that event on the PM5D. Conversely, the corresponding event can be executed when a program change message is received from an external device.

1 Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the external device to the PM5D's MIDI IN connector. Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the PM5D to the MIDI IN connector of the external device.

7 When you have finished making settings, click the OK button in the MIDI PGM CHANGE window.
8 Assign events to other program numbers in the same way.

With these settings, executing the specified event on the PM5D will cause a program change (or bank select + program change) message to be transmitted to the external device.

When an external device transmits a program change (or bank select + program change) message on the appropriate channel, the event assigned to that program number will be executed.

Hint

  • You can use the CLEAR button above the list to erase all assignments to program numbers. The PRESET button will return all program number assignments to their default state.
  • The contents of the program change table are not saved in the scene. If desired, you can save this data on a memory card as a MIDI PGM TABLE.

Note

If more than one program number is assigned to a single scene, only the lowest-numbered program change will be transmitted in Single mode, and in Multi mode the lowest-numbered program change for each channel will be transmitted.

Using control changes to control events

You can use MIDI control change messages to control specified events (fader/encoder operations, key on/off operations etc.) on the PM5D. This capability can be used to record fader and key operations on a MIDI sequencer or other external device, and play back this data later.

You can use control changes to control events in either of the following two ways.

Using control change numbers 1-119
This method uses the common variety of control change messages. You can freely assign an event to each control number.
- Using NRPN (Non Registered Parameter Number)
This method uses a special type of control change messages called NRPN. NRPN uses control change numbers 99 and 98 to specify the MSB (Most Significant Byte) and LSB (Least Significant Byte) of the parameter number, and subsequently-transmitted control change messages of control change number 6 (or 6 and 38) to specify the value of that parameter.
The event specified by each combination of MSB and LSB is fixed.
1 Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the external device to the PM5D's MIDI IN connector. Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the PM5D to the MIDI IN connector of the external device.

2 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the [MIDI/REMOTE] key several times to access the MIDI CTRL CHANGE screen shown below.

If TABLE [SINGLE] or NRPN are selected as the control change transmission/reception method, use MIDI CH field to choose the MIDI channel used for transmission and reception.

Hint

The MIDI port and MIDI channel used for control change transmission/reception can also be specified from the MIDI SETUP screen (p.188).

5 If TABLE [SINGLE] or TABLE [MULTI] are selected as the control change transmission/ reception method, use the list in the right of the screen to display the MIDI channel and control number to which you want to assign an event, and click that line.

In this list you can select the event (fader/encoder operation, key operation, etc.) that will be assigned to each control number. The list contains the following columns.

  • CH (Channel)

Indicates the MIDI channel on which the control change is transmitted/received.

Note

You can use this column to specify multiple MIDI channels even if TABLE [SINGLE] is selected as the transmission/ reception method. However in actuality, only the MIDI transmit/receive channel selected in the MIDI SETUP field will be valid.

  • CTRL No. (Control number)

Indicates the control number 1-119. You cannot make settings for numbers 0, 32, or 96-101.

  • CTRL CHANGE EVENT (Library name)

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 1

7 When you have finished making settings, click the OK button in the MIDI CTRL CHANGE window.

8 Assign events to other control numbers in the same way.

When you operate the parameters you assigned on the PM5D, control change messages will be transmitted to external devices.

Similarly, if the corresponding control change messages are sent from an external device on the appropriate channel, the parameters assigned to those control numbers will change.

Hint

  • You can use the CLEAR button above the list to erase all assignments to control numbers. The PRESET button will return all control number assignments to their default state.
  • The contents of the control change table are not saved in the scene. If desired, you can save this data on a memory card as a MIDI CTRL TABLE.

Using the MIDI Remote function

"MIDI Remote" allows you to assign MIDI messages to the controllers (faders, encoders, CH [ON] keys, ENCODER [ON] keys) of the INPUT/ST IN channel strips so that these MIDI messages will be transmitted when you operate these controllers. This capability can be used for remote control of external MIDI devices such as synthesizers, or to control the parameters of DAW software or a HDR unit.

While the MIDI Remote function is active, INPUT channel strip 1-24 functions as MIDI remote channels 1-24, and ST IN channel strip 1-4 functions as MIDI remote channels 25-28.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Using the MIDI Remote function - 1
MIDI remote channels 1-24
MIDI remote channels 25-28

To each controller you can assign a MIDI message consisting of up to sixteen bytes of hexadecimal data. If desired, you can specify that a value within the message varies according to the movement of the controller.

Assigning MIDI messages to controllers

Here's how to specify the MIDI port used by the MIDI Remote function, and assign a MIDI message to the desired MIDI remote channel.

1 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the [MIDI/REMOTE] key several times to access the MIDI SETUP screen shown below.

The bank name is displayed above buttons A-D. You can change the name by clicking the button at the left of the bank name.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - In the BANK SELECT area at the upper right of the screen, use the A-D buttons to select the bank you want to use. - 1

5 In the upper left of the screen, set the TRANSMIT ENABLED/DISABLED button to ENABLED.

Transmission will be enabled for the selected bank. (You can enable/disable transmission for each of the four banks.)

6 Use the channel select area at the left of the screen to select the MIDI remote channel to which you want to assign a MIDI message.

These buttons correspond to the following channel strips.

REMOTE CH 1-24INPUT channel strip 1-24
REMOTE CH 25-28ST IN channel strip 1-4

When you click the 1 / 2 buttons at the left and right of the box, the corresponding name is displayed in the box at the right. You can change the name of the MIDI remote channel by clicking the 3 button of the box at right.

7 Use the MIDI message boxes in the lower part of the screen to specify a MIDI message for each controller of the channel.

The lower part of the MIDI REMOTE screen contains MIDI message boxes that let you assign a MIDI message to the ENCODER [ON] key, encoder, CH [ON] key, and fader.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Use the MIDI message boxes in the lower part of the screen to specify a MIDI message for each controller of the channel. - 1

You can assign a MIDI message to a controller in any of the following three ways.

① Directly inputting hexadecimal values In this method you directly input the message as hexadecimal values. To use this method, click the button at the left edge of the desired MIDI message box to open the MIDI REMOTE SETUP window.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Use the MIDI message boxes in the lower part of the screen to specify a MIDI message for each controller of the channel. - 2

In this window you can input a message by clicking the desired input box to select it (the box will be highlighted) and turning the [DATA] encoder. You can use the [INC]/[DEC] keys to move the selected position. You can input the following values.

ValueAvailable assign-mentsContent
00(H)-FF(H)AllThe MIDI message that is transmitted (hexadecimal).
ENDAllIndicates the end of the MIDI message. When you operate the corresponding controller, the MIDI message from the beginning until immediately before END will be transmitted.
SWAllIndicates the on/off status of the encoder [ON] key or the channel [ON] key. A value of 7F(H) is transmitted when the key turns on, and a value of 00(H) is transmitted when the key turns off. If this is assigned to an encoder or fader, the current value of the key will be transmitted when the encoder or fader is operated.
ENCENCODER ON/ENCODERIndicates the current position of the encoder. If assigned to an encoder, a value of 00-7F(H) is transmitted when the encoder is operated. If assigned to an encoder [ON] key, the current value of the encoder is transmitted when the key is switched on.
FADCH ON/FADERIndicates the current position of the fader. If the message is assigned to a fader, this value is transmitted as a value of 00-7F(H) when the fader is operated. If assigned to a CH [ON] key, the current value of the fader is transmitted when the key is switched on.

If you set a value to SW, ENC, or FAD, that value will be linked to the state of the controller. For example if you have made settings as shown in the following screen, the last value will be linked with the fader position, and will change in the range of 0-127.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Use the MIDI message boxes in the lower part of the screen to specify a MIDI message for each controller of the channel. - 3

When you click a box in which a hexadecimal value has been input, the range of values that can be interpreted as a valid MIDI message (including that box) will turn red. The lower part of the screen shows the MIDI channel (MIDI CH), message type (TYPE), and data values (DATA 1, DATA 2) for this MIDI message, letting you verify that the appropriate MIDI message has been input.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Use the MIDI message boxes in the lower part of the screen to specify a MIDI message for each controller of the channel. - 4

You can use the following buttons to input or edit the message in this window.

+ + buttonsMove the highlighted area to left or right.
INS buttonInserts a space (blank) at the highlighted position. Pressing the <Insert> key of a PS/2 keyboard will produce the same result.
DEL buttonDeletes the character at the highlighted position. Pressing the <Delete> key of a PS/2 keyboard will produce the same result.
CLEAR buttonErases the entire message that was input in the MIDI message input boxes.
PASTE buttonPastes the message that was copied to buffer memory by the COPY button.
COPY buttonCopies the message from the MIDI message input box to temporary buffer memory. Use this in conjunction with the PASTE button to copy a message from one controller to another bank or controller.

When you have finished inputting data in the MIDI REMOTE SETUP window, click the OK button. The hexadecimal values will be input in the MIDI message box of the MIDI REMOTE screen.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Use the MIDI message boxes in the lower part of the screen to specify a MIDI message for each controller of the channel. - 5

(2) Specifying the type of message

In this method you specify the desired MIDI channel, type of message, and data value; these will be converted into the appropriate hexadecimal values. Access the MIDI REMOTE SETUP window in the same way as for method ①, and click the first box into which you want to input data.

Next, click the 1 / 2 buttons at the left and right of the TYPE box to select the type of message.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Specifying the type of message - 1

Then use the MIDI CH, DATA 1, and DATA 2 boxes to specify the MIDI channel and various values. The values that can be selected in the MIDI CH, DATA 1, and DATA 2 boxes will depend on the type of message you selected first.

TYPEMIDI CHDATA 1DATA 2

PROGRAM CHANGEProgram number
CHANNEL PRESSUREPressure value (0-127)
PITCH BENDPitch bend MSB (0-127)Pitch bend LSB (0-127)
EXCLUSIVEMESSAGE

If you set the DATA 1 or DATA 2 value to SWITCH, ENCODER (available only for encoders), or FADER (available only for faders), that value will be linked with the state of the controller.

When you have specified all of the values, click the

" ENTER" button in the screen; the hexadecimal values for that message will be input in the input box of the MIDI REMOTE SETUP window. As necessary, you can edit the message by clicking an input box and turning the [DATA] encoder.

Hexadecimal values that were input

③ Using the LEARN button

The LEARN button lets you assign a MIDI message to a controller by receiving that message from an external device. To use the Learn function, go to the MIDI REMOTE screen and click the LEARN button in for the controller to which you want to assign a message.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - ③ Using the LEARN button - 1

Note

  • Only one LEARN button can be turned on simultaneously.
  • The LEARN button is valid only for the MIDI remote channel that is currently selected. Also, you cannot change the MIDI remote channel while this button is on.
  • The LEARN button is turned off automatically when you switch to a different screen.

If a MIDI message is received at a MIDI port available for the current bank while the LEARN button is on, the received message will be input to the MIDI input box. The following screen shows an example of when the modulation wheel (control change #1) of a synthesizer is operated.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 1

Hint

  • MIDI messages assigned using the LEARN button can be a maximum of 16 bytes long (the 17th and subsequent bytes are discarded). If the message is less than 16 bytes long, END will be placed immediately after the last data value.
  • If a control change is received, the third byte will automatically be replaced by FAD (if the assignment destination is a fader), ENC (if the assignment destination is an encoder), or SW (if the assignment destination is an encoder [ON] or CH [ON] key).
  • If multiple messages are received while the LEARN button is on, the last-received message will be used. If the status byte is omitted from the last message, the appropriate status byte will be supplied.

8 Assign messages to other MIDI remote channels or other banks in the same way.

If a specific byte is set to "SW" for the ENCODER [ON] key or CH [ON] key, use the LATCH button to select one of the following behaviors.

- If the LATCH button is on

The on/off status will change each time you press the key (Latched). If you press the key from the Off state, a MIDI message with 7F(H) as the SW value will be transmitted, and when you press the same key once again a MIDI message with 00(H) as the SW value will be transmitted.

- If the LATCH button is off

The switch will be on only while you are holding it down, and will turn off when you release it (Unlatched). The moment you press the key, a MIDI message with 7F(H) as the SW value will be transmitted; the moment you release the key, a MIDI message with a SW value of 00(H) will be transmitted.

If a specific byte is set to "ENC" (or "FAD") for the ENCODER [ON] key or CH [ON] key, use the LATCH button to select one of the following behaviors.

- If the LATCH button is on

If you press the key from the Off state, a MIDI message with the current value of the encoder (or fader) as the ENC (or FAD) value will be transmitted, and when you press the same key once again a MIDI message with 00(H) as the ENC (or FAD) value will be transmitted.

- If the LATCH button is off

The moment you press the key, a MIDI message with the current value of the encoder (or fader) as the ENC (or FAD) value will be transmitted, and the moment you release the key a MIDI message with 00(H) as the ENC (or FAD) value will be transmitted.

Note

If SW/ENC/FAD are not specified as the last byte of the MIDI message, the same MIDI message will be transmitted when the key is turned on or off. (The same message will be transmitted when the key is turned off.)

Using MIDI remote channels

Here's how to recall banks A-D to which you assigned MIDI messages, and operate MIDI remote channels.

1 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the [MIDI/REMOTE] key several times to access the following MIDI REMOTE screen.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Using MIDI remote channels - 1

2 In the BANK SELECT area at the upper right of the screen, use the A-D buttons to select the bank you want to use.
3 In the upper middle of the screen, use the ASSIGN TO CH STRIP SECTION buttons to select the MIDI remote channel you want to control. (Multiple simultaneous selections are allowed.)

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Using MIDI remote channels - 2

INPUT CHINPUT channel strip 1–24
STIN/FXRTNST IN/FX RTN channel strip 1–4

This setting applies to all four banks.

Turning on a button will enable the MIDI Remote function; the corresponding channel strip will function as MIDI remote channels. (The usual function of the controllers will be disabled.)

At this time, the lower part of the display will indicate "REMOTE" in the encoder/fader mode area. The INPUT CH layer and ST IN/FX RTN layer indications will change to the corresponding MIDI remote channel.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Using MIDI remote channels - 3

4 Operate the appropriate channel strip. MIDI messages will be transmitted from the corresponding MIDI port.
5 To disable the MIDI Remote function, turn off the ASSIGN TO CH STRIP SECTION buttons. Note

  • When the MIDI Remote function is enabled, the controllers will return to their normal state if you switch to another screen. However when you come back to the MIDI REMOTE screen, the remote function of the controllers will be enabled.
  • The controller values during MIDI Remote operation are included in the scene data. This means that when you recall a scene, the controller values will change and MIDI messages will be transmitted. Recall Safe settings can also be applied to the MIDI Remote function.

Transmitting MIDI events when you switch scenes

You can register a desired MIDI message for each scene in scene memory so that this message will be transmitted from the MIDI OUT connector when you recall the scene. For example you can use this to switch programs on an external MIDI-compatible effect processor when the scene changes.

1 Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the PM5D to the MIDI IN connector of the external device.
2 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the [SCENE] key several times to access the SCENE screen shown below.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Transmitting MIDI events when you switch scenes - 1

3 Scroll the scene list upward or downward to select the scene number for which you want to assign a MIDI event.
4 Scroll the scene list toward the right to display the MIDI EVENT column.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Transmitting MIDI events when you switch scenes - 2

In the MIDI EVENT column you will input the MIDI message that will be transmitted when you recall that scene.

5 Click the button at the left edge of the MIDI EVENT column to open the MIDI EVENT SETUP window.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Transmitting MIDI events when you switch scenes - 3

6 Use the MIDI EVENT SETUP window to specify the MIDI message that will be linked with that scene.

The procedure for specifying a MIDI message in the MIDI EVENT SETUP window is the same as in the MIDI REMOTE screen MIDI REMOTE SETUP window, with the exceptions that you cannot select FAD, ENC, or SW for the DATA 1/DATA 2 boxes, and that there is no LEARN button. (For details, refer to p.128) When you have finished making settings, click the OK button in the MIDI EVENT SETUP window.

7 Click the Tx ON/OFF column located at the right of the MIDI EVENT column to turn it on.

The MIDI event linked to the corresponding scene is now enabled.

Note

If necessary, you can adjust the timing at which the MIDI events linked to the scene are transmitted ( p.176) .

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 1

8 In the same way, specify MIDI events for other scene numbers.
9 Recall a scene to which a MIDI event is linked.

The MIDI message will be transmitted from the specified MIDI port.

The GPI connector on the rear panel can be used as a GPI (General Purpose Interface) input/output connector. This connector provides four GPI IN ports and twelve GPI OUT ports. For example you can use an external switch or joystick to control the PM5D's parameters, or conversely use the PM5D's keys and faders to send control signals to an external device.

The following diagram is an example of an external circuit that can operate GPI via the GPI connector. (For specifications of the GPI connector pins, refer to the Appendices p.388 and p.394 at the end of the manual.)

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 2

This circuit uses four switches (GPI 1-GPI 4) to switch the GPI IN ports between active and inactive. If the polarity of a GPI OUT port is set to Low Active, and you operate the PM5D to make the GPI OUT port Active, the corresponding LED in the above circuit (GPO 1-GPO 12) will light. (If the polarity of the GPI OUT port is High Active, the LED will go dark.)

Using GPI IN

You can use the GPI IN ports of the GPI connector to control PM5D parameters from an external device. For example you can use an external switch to turn the PM5D's talkback on/off or to operate its Tap Tempo function, or you can use a joystick to control surround panning.

1 Connect an external device to the PM5D's GPI connector.
2 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the [MIDI/REMOTE] key several times to access the GPI screen shown below.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Using GPI IN - 1

In this screen, the upper list is used to make GPI IN settings and the lower list is used to make GPI OUT settings.

3 In the POLARITY column of the GPI IN list, select the polarity of each GPI IN port.

You can select one of the following as the polarity for a GPI IN port.

Low active)

When controlling an on/off switch-type parameter, the port will become active when the switch is grounded. When controlling a continuously-variable parameter, that parameter will be at its maximum value when the voltage is at low level (by default, 0V), and at its minimum value when the voltage is at high level (by default, approximately 5V).

  • n (High active)

When controlling an on/off switch-type parameter, the port will be active when the switch is opened or when a high-level voltage is input.

When controlling a continuously-variable parameter, that parameter will be at its minimum value when the voltage is at low level, and at its maximum value when the voltage is at high level.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Using GPI IN - 2

While the GPI screen is displayed, the GPI IN status column of the GPI IN area will show a yellow bar graph to indicate the approximate value of the voltage being input to each port. (If the bar is not shown, the voltage is grounded; if the bar is displayed all the way to the right edge, the voltage is at high level.)

Hint

The voltage value at which the PM5D detects High or Low level can be adjusted to suit the external controller (except for external switches) you are using ( p.135) .

4 At the left edge of the FUNCTION column, click the button to open the GPI IN PORT ASSIGN window.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - At the left edge of the FUNCTION column, click the button to open the GPI IN PORT ASSIGN window. - 1

In the GPI IN PORT ASSIGN window you can select the PM5D function that will be controlled by each GPI IN port.

Use the FUNCTION column to select the type of function, and use the PARAMETER column to select the optional parameters. You can select the following functions and parameters.

After you have specified the function and parameter, click the OK button.

Note

  • If latched operation is selected, the port will change between active/inactive each time a trigger is input from an external switch. In this case, we recommend that you use a non-locking type of external switch.
  • If unlatched operation is selected, the port will be active only while the signal from the external switch stays at high level or low level. In this case, we recommend that you use either a non-locking or a locking type of external switch as appropriate for your situation.

5 Specify the function and parameter for other GPI IN ports in the same way.

With these settings when you operate an external device to make the GPI IN port active, the corresponding PM5D function will be executed. (If a continuously-variable parameter is assigned, the parameter value will vary according to the change in voltage.)

Hint

The settings in the GPI screen apply to all scenes. These settings can also be saved on a memory card as SETUP data.

Calibrating the GPI IN ports

If necessary, the voltage values at which the PM5D detects Low and High levels can be adjusted appropriately for the voltage of the signals being input from the GPI IN port.

You can use this to set the variable range of a PM5D parameter to match the range of voltage change produced by a continuously-variable controller (such as a joystick).

1 Connect an external device to the PM5D's GPI connector.
2 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the [MIDI/REMOTE] key several times to access the GPI screen.
3 In the GPI IN MONITOR area at the upper right of the screen, select the GPI IN port that you want to calibrate.

If you are calibrating a two-dimensional controller such as a joystick, click the 4 / 5 buttons at the left and right of the X-AXIS and Y-AXIS fields to specify the two GPI IN ports.

If you are calibrating only one GPI IN port, set one of them to "----" (no assignment).

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Calibrating the GPI IN ports - 1

When you specify a GPI IN port, the voltage from that GPI IN port is indicated by a yellow symbol in the GPI IN monitor area. In this case, the horizontal position (X-axis) corresponds to the voltage of the GPI IN port selected in the X-AXIS field, and the vertical position (Y-axis) corresponds to the voltage of the GPI IN port selected in the Y-AXIS field.

The red line (or red square) displayed in the GPI IN monitor area indicates the range between High level and Low level for the GPI IN ports corresponding to the Y-axis and X-axis.

Hint

If necessary, you can click the REVERSE button to invert the Low level and High level of the input signal. (The result is the same as switching the POLARITY setting of the GPI IN port.)

4 Turn on the CALIBRATION button.

The red line (or red square) in the GPI IN monitor area will temporarily disappear, and only the yellow symbol will remain.

5 If you are calibrating only one GPI IN port, vary the voltage of the signal being input to the GPI IN port specified in step 3 from the maximum value to the minimum value.

The yellow symbol will move up/down or left/right as the voltage changes. The red line will extend according to this change, and the maximum and minimum voltage values for the corresponding GPI IN port will be stored.

6 If you are calibrating a joystick, move the joystick through a 360-degree path.

The yellow symbol will rotate. The red square will broaden accordingly, and the maximum and minimum voltage values of the GPI IN ports corresponding to the X-axis and Y-axis will be stored.

7 Turn off the CALIBRATION button.

The maximum and minimum voltage values detected will be remembered as the reference values for the High and Low levels. (When controlling a continuously variable parameter, the maximum value and minimum value of that parameter will be aligned with these reference values.)

Hint

The results of calibration apply to all scenes. They are also preserved even when the PM5D is powered-off.

Using GPI OUT

Here's how you can use the GPI OUT ports of the GPI connector to control an external device from the PM5D's faders or keys.

1 To the PM5D's GPI connector, connect the external device that you want to control from the PM5D.
2 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the [MIDI/REMOTE] key several times to access the GPI screen.
3 In the POLARITY column of the GPI OUT area, select the polarity of the signal that is output from each GPI OUT port.

The POLARITY column of the GPI OUT area selects one of the following two settings as the polarity of the signal that is output when the GPI OUT port becomes active.

  • (Low active)
    Grounded when the GPI OUT port is active.

  • n (High active)

Open when the GPI OUT port is active.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Using GPI OUT - 1

4 In the GPI OUT area, use the FADER START, USER DEFINED KEYS, and TALLY columns to select the PM5D function for GPI OUT ports 1 through 12.

When an operation selected here is executed on the PM5D, the corresponding GPI OUT port will become active, and a control signal will be output.

For each GPI OUT port you can select the following three functions (multiple selections are allowed).

□ FADER START

A fader operation on the PM5D will be the trigger for outputting a signal from the GPI OUT port.

To edit the setting, click the button at the left to open the GPI OUT PORT ASSIGN window, and select the fader mode (trigger detection method) and channel. You can select the following fader modes.

  • FADER START

A control signal (trigger signal) 250 msec long will be output when the fader of the selected channel moves from -60 dB or below to above -60 dB.

  • FADER STOP

A control signal (trigger signal) 250 msec long will be output when the fader of the selected channel reaches - dB.

  • FADER TALLY

A control signal will be output when the fader of the selected channel moves from -60 dB or below to above -60 dB. This control signal will be held until the fader reaches - dB (or until that GPI OUT port receives a different trigger).

The following illustration shows how the output signal from the GPI OUT port changes when you operate a fader in each of the fader modes. (This illustration shows operation when u is selected as the POLARITY of the GPI OUT port. If POLARITY is n , the polarity of the output signal will be the opposite.)

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - □ FADER START - 1

Note

When the voltage is at High level, the output signal of the port will be open. If the receiving device requires High level, it can be taken from the +5 power supply pin. However in this case there is a limitation on the current flow; for details, refer to the Appendices at the end of this manual.

USER DEFINED KEYS

Operation of a User Defined key on the PM5D will be the trigger for outputting a signal from the GPI OUT port.

To edit the setting, click the button at the left to open the GPI OUT PORT ASSIGN window; from the list, select the User Defined key bank (A-D) and number (1-25), and choose the trigger mode (how the trigger will operate when the key is pressed). You can choose one of the following trigger modes.

LATCH

Alternate between active and inactive each time the key is pressed.

- UNLATCH

Active only while the key remains pressed.

The following illustration shows how the output signal from the GPI OUT port changes when you operate a User Defined key in each of the trigger modes. (This illustration shows operation when u is selected as the POLARITY of the GPI OUT port. If POLARITY is n , the polarity of the output signal will be the opposite.)

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - - UNLATCH - 1

TALLY (other)

Other operations on the PM5D will be the trigger for outputting a signal from the GPI OUT port. When the corresponding operation is executed on the PM5D, a control signal will be output. This control signal will be held until you defeat the above operation (or until that GPI OUT port receives a different trigger).

To edit the settings, click the button at the left to open the GPI OUT PORT ASSIGN window, and select one of the following functions.

FunctionPM5D operation
NO ASSIGNNo assignment
POWER ONThe PM5D's power is turned on
SOLO ON[SOLO] key is turned on

CUE ON [OUTPUT ONLY]Output channel [CUE] key is turned on
CUE ONAny [CUE] key is turned on

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - TALLY (other) - 1

Make settings for other GPI OUT ports in the same way.

With these settings, executing an operation assigned to the GPI OUT port will output a control signal according to the POLARITY setting.

You can use the TEST buttons in the GPI OUT area to check the operation of the GPI OUT ports. When a TEST button is on, the corresponding GPI OUT port will become active, and a control signal will be output.

The GPI OUT status column indicates the status of the output signal of the corresponding port. The characters L/H indicate the Low or High level of the signal.

The background color is yellow when active, and gray when inactive.

17 Using memory cards

This chapter explains how to save/load PM5D/DSP5D internal data using a memory card.

Using memory cards with the PM5D

You can insert a commercially available memory card into the memory card slot located on the front panel of the PM5D, and use it to save or load various types of data.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Using memory cards with the PM5D - 1

You can use PCMCIA Type II PC flash ATA cards, or CompactFlash media inserted in a PC card adaptor. (In either case, media with a power supply voltage of 3.3V or 5V is supported.) Normally, these cards are sold in an already-formatted state. This means that you won't need to format them before using them with the PM5D. If you do need to format a card, use a computer or other external device to format the card in FAT16 format.

Note

Operation is not guaranteed for any type of media other than described above.

Saving files to a memory card

Here's how to save individual items of data (or all data) from the PM5D/DSP5D onto a memory card. If the PM5D and DSP5D are cascade-connected, the settings of each machine can be consecutively saved by a single operation.

1 Insert the memory card into the memory card slot located on the front panel of the PM5D. You may insert or remove cards while the PM5D is powered-on.
2 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, repeatedly press the [UTILITY] key to access the SAVE screen.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Saving files to a memory card - 1

In the left side of the SAVE screen you can select the save mode and the item(s) that will be saved. The file list in the right side of the screen contains four columns; FILE NAME, TYPE, DATE/SIZE, and COMMENT. This list shows the files and directories on the memory card. (To see the COMMENT column, scroll the list toward the right.)

3 In the MODE area, click the BASIC button to select BASIC as the save mode.

If BASIC mode is selected, you can choose the desired item (or all items) and save them to a memory card.

Hint

The other save modes provided are ADVANCED mode which lets you save scene memories or libraries under different numbers, and CSV EXPORT mode which lets you save the names of scene memories or libraries as a CSV format file. For details, refer to the Reference section (p.212).

Note

If a DSP5D (machine #2 or #3) is selected, you can't save CSV format files. Please use DSP5D Editor.

4 Use the buttons below the MODE area to select the item you want to save.

The item whose button is turned on is selected for saving. (You can turn on only one button.) By clicking the ALL DATA button you can select all items at once. These buttons correspond to the following items.

To move to a higher directory, click the directory line to select it (that line will move to the center of the list), and click the “.” shown in the FILE NAME column.

Hint

  • The directory currently selected as the save destination is also shown in the FILE PATH field above the list
  • If you want to create a new directory in the current location, click the MAKE DIR button below the file list.

Note

  • The file list can display only up to one hundred items.
  • Saving is not possible if the FILE PATH field exceeds 60 characters (including the filename extension).

7 After specifying the item to be saved and the save-destination directory, click the SAVE button.

The FILE SAVE window will appear, allowing you to assign a name to the data that will be saved.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 1

Use the character palette to input a filename, and click the OK button.

A window will ask you to confirm the Save operation.

Note

  • When assigning a name to a file on a memory card, lower-case alphabetical characters and some symbols in the character palette cannot be used.
  • If you paste text copied from another character palette when inputting the file name, all lowercase alphabetical characters will be converted to uppercase.

9 To execute the Save operation, click the OK button.

A window will appear, indicating the progress of the Save operation. If you click the CANCEL button instead of the OK button, the Save operation will be aborted.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 1

Do not insert or remove the memory card while it is being accessed. A BUSY indicator at the upper right of the display will light while the card is being accessed.

10 If the PM5D and DSP5D are cascade-connected, a window will appear in which you can save the settings of the second and subsequent machines (DSP5D).

As necessary, repeat steps 7-9 to save the settings for each machine individually. If you don't need the settings for the second and subsequent machine, click the CANCEL button to abort the save operation. When the save operation is finished, you will return to the previous screen.

Hint

To avoid loading the data into the wrong machine, in the FILE SAVE window that appears, the machine ID number (2 or 3) will automatically be appended to the end of the file name for the second and subsequent units.

Loading files from a memory card

Here's how to load data from a memory card into the PM5D/PM5D.

1 Insert the memory card containing the data you want to load into the memory card slot located on the front panel of the PM5D.
2 If the PM5D and DSP5D are cascade-connected, switch to the machine into which you want to load the settings.

18 Surround pan

This chapter explains how to use the surround pan functionality.

About surround pan

"Surround pan" is functionality that, when used with a multi-channel playback system, lets you place the signal of an input channel in two-dimensional space or move the sound image between front/back and left/right. (To move the surround pan image, you can use the mouse, the CURSOR [] / [] / [] / [] keys, or the MIX encoders etc.)

The PM5D lets you choose from the following three surround modes, depending on the number of channels in your surround environment.

3-1ch

This mode uses four channels; left and right front, front center, and rear (surround).

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - 3-1ch - 1

5.1ch

This mode uses six channels; left and right front, left and right rear, front center, and subwoofer.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - 5.1ch - 1

6.1ch

This mode uses seven channels; 5.1ch with the addition of rear center.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - 6.1ch - 1

Hint

The surround mode can be selected in the MIXER SETUP screen (SYS/W.CLOCK function) or SURR SETUP screen (MATRIX/ST function).

When any of the three surround modes (3-1ch, 5.1ch, 6.1ch) are selected, the PM5D's bus configuration and operation will change as follows.

About the surround buses

While a surround mode is selected, MIX buses 1-8 or MIX buses 9-16 can be used as surround buses. (The choice of whether to use MIX buses 1-8 or MIX buses 9-16 is made in the MATRIX/ST function SURR SETUP screen.)

When you switch the surround mode, the following surround channels will be assigned by default to each of the MIX buses. (You are free to change these assignments subsequently.)

Surround mode MIX bus3-1ch5.1ch6.1ch
MIX bus 1/9L (Front L)
MIX bus 2/10R (Front R)
MIX bus 3/11C (Center)Ls (Rear L)
MIX bus 4/12S (Surround)Rs (Rear R)
MIX bus 5/13C (Center)
MIX bus 6/14LFE (Subwoofer)Bs (Rear center)
MIX bus 7/15LFE (Subwoofer)
MIX bus 8/16

Note

MIX buses shaded in gray in this table can be used as conventional MIX buses. However in 6.1ch mode, the MIX 8/16 bus will operate only as FIXED type.

For example when the surround mode is 6.1ch and you have chosen MIX 1-8 to use as the surround buses, the surround pan signal flow will be as follows.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 1

How the MIX section will operate

When a surround mode is selected, the MIX encoders allocated to surround buses will operate differently than normal. For example if MIX buses 1-8 are being used as surround buses, you can use MIX encoders 1-8 of the MIX section to edit the following parameters.

If the MIX section [MIX SEND] key is on

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - If the MIX section [MIX SEND] key is on - 1

① L R

Moves the surround pan of the selected channel between left and right.

② F R

Moves the surround pan of the selected channel between front and rear.

(3) Front divergence (5.1ch and 6.1ch modes only)

Adjusts the front divergence (the proportion at which a signal panned to the center will be sent to the front center bus and to the front LR buses) of the selected channel. Front divergence (the DIV F parameter) can be adjusted if 6.1ch mode is being used.

④ Rear divergence (6.1ch mode only)

Adjusts the rear divergence (the proportion at which a signal panned to the rear will be sent to the rear center bus and to the rear LR buses) of the selected channel.

(5) LFE (5.1ch and 6.1ch modes only)

Adjusts the send level of the signal sent from the selected channel to the LFE (Low Frequency Effects) bus.

Hint

  • For details on each of the surround pan parameters, refer to SURR PARAM screen (▶ p.309) in the Reference section.
  • If MIX buses 9-16 are being used as surround buses, you can use MIX encoders 9-16 to perform the above operations.

If the MIX section [MIX MASTER] key is on

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - If the MIX section [MIX MASTER] key is on - 1

Basic settings for surround buses

Here's how to choose either 3-1ch, 5.1ch, or 6.1ch as the surround mode, and make settings for the MIX buses you will use as surround buses.

1 According to the surround mode you intend to use, connect an appropriate playback system to MIX OUT jacks 1-8 or MIX OUT jacks 9-16.
2 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, repeatedly press the [MATRIX/ST] key to access the SURR SETUP screen.

In order to use a surround mode, you will first choose a surround mode, and then specify the MIX buses that will be the surround output destinations.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Basic settings for surround buses - 1

3 Click a button in the SURROUND MODE area to select the desired surround mode.

When you click a button a window will appear, asking you to confirm that you want to switch the surround mode.

① Output level

The encoders adjust the output level of each surround channel.

Click the OK button to enable the surround mode you selected. For example if you switch to 6.1ch mode, the screen display will change as follows.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Basic settings for surround buses - 2

4 In the SURROUND BUS ALLOCATION area, press the MIX 1-8 button or the MIX 9-16 button to select the MIX buses you want to use as surround buses.

You can select either MIX buses 1-8 or MIX buses 9-16. When you click a button a window will appear, asking you to confirm that you want to change the MIX bus allocation.

When you click the OK button, the selected MIX buses will be allocated as surround buses, and will be assigned to surround channels according to the current surround mode.

5 If you want to change the surround channel assignments, click the l buttons at the left and right of each field in the bus assign area, and press the [ENTER] key (or click within the box) to confirm the setting.

When the setting is confirmed, the previously-selected bus and the newly-assigned bus will be exchanged.

Hint

You can initialize the surround channel assignments by clicking the INIT button located at the right of the bus assign area.

6 Use the knobs and buttons in the lower part of the screen to adjust the volume, delay, on/off status, and cue for each surround channel.

For details on these knobs and buttons, refer to SURR PARAM screen ( p.309) in the Reference section.

7 In the MIX section, make the [MIX MASTER] key light, and turn on the MIX [ON] keys of all MIX buses that will be used as surround buses.

The signal of each surround bus is now sent from the corresponding MIX OUT jack.

Controlling surround pan

Here's how to control surround pan for two adjacent input channels (or ST IN/FX RTN channels L and R).

Note

  • Before you continue with the following procedure, you must select the desired surround mode and connect MIX OUT jacks 1–8 or MIX OUT jacks 9–16 to an appropriate playback system, as described in "Basic settings for surround buses" (→ p.144).
  • If you use 5.1ch or 6.1ch surround mode, connect the LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel signal to a dedicated subwoofer for the low frequencies. However, simply switching the surround mode does not change the EQ (filter) settings. As necessary, use the EQ (LPF) of the MIX channel assigned to the LFE channel to cut the high-frequency portion of the signal according to the frequency response of the subwoofer you are using.

1 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, repeatedly press the [PAN/ROUTING] key to access the SURR PARAM screen (PAN/ROUTING function).

The SURR PARAM screen always shows surround pan settings for two channels.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, repeatedly press the [PAN/ROUTING] key to access the SURR PARAM screen (PAN/ROUTING function). - 1
Surround pan grid

2 Use the channel selection area to select the input channels whose surround pan settings you want to edit.

Two adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered channels (or ST IN/FX RTN channels L and R) will be displayed.

3 Use the SURROUND BUS ON/OFF buttons located around the surround pan grid to select the surround buses to which the input channel will be sent.

The SURROUND BUS ON/OFF buttons are on/off switches for the signal sent from the input channel to each surround bus.

Hint

You can do the same thing by pressing a [SEL] key to select an input channel, making the MIX section [MIX SEND] key light, and then turning on the MIX [ON] key for the desired surround buses.

4 Use any of the following methods to adjust the surround pan of the selected channel.

  • Using the mouse or track pad

Move the pointer into the surround pan grid of the channel you want to control, and drag the yellow O symbol forward/backward/left/right. (The symbol will turn red while you are dragging it.) Alternatively, you can click a desired location within the surround pan grid to move the surround pan to that location.

  • Using the pan buttons around the surround pan area

If you want to quickly move the channel signal to the location of a speaker, click one of the pan buttons (e.g., L, R, C) shown around the edge of the surround pan grid.

  • Using the CURSOR [] / [] / [] / [] keys

Move the cursor to the surround pan grid and press the [ENTER] key; the O symbol will turn red.

In this condition, you can use the CURSOR [] / [] keys to move surround pan left/right, or the CURSOR [] / [] keys to move it forward/backward, in a range of eight steps. By performing this operation while holding down the [SHIFT] key, you can quickly move surround pan in a range of 32 steps. To finalize the surround pan adjustment, press the [ENTER] key once again.

  • Using the MIX encoders

If you turn on the [MIX SEND] key of the MIX section, you can use MIX encoders 1 or 9 to adjust the left/right position of the input channel, and MIX encoders 2 or 10 to adjust the front/rear position. The SARR PARAM screen MIX SECTION ASSIGNMENT area shows the parameters assigned to each MIX encoder.

  • Using MIDI control changes or GPI

If you assign surround pan parameters to MIDI control changes or GPI, you can use an external device to control surround pan. For details, refer to MIDI CTRL CHANGE screen ( p.191) and GPI screen ( p.194) in the Reference section.

When you turn on the STEREO LINK button, surround pan will be linked for the two channels shown in the SARR PARAM screen. To specify how they will be linked, select one of the following link patterns by clicking the / buttons at the left and right of the box located to the right of the STEREO LINK button.

Pattern 1→1The channels will move in the same direction for both the front/rear axis and the left/right axis.
Pattern 2→2The channels will move in opposite directions for the front/rear axis, and in the same direction for the left/right axis.
Pattern 3→3The channels will move in the same direction for the front/rear axis, and in opposite directions for the left/right axis.
Pattern 4→4Left↔right movement of the odd-numbered channel will be linked with rear↔front movement of the even-numbered channel. Front↔rear movement of the odd-numbered channel will be linked with left↔right movement of the even-numbered channel.
Pattern 5→5Left↔right movement of the odd-numbered channel will be linked with front↔rear movement of the even-numbered channel. Front↔rear movement of the odd-numbered channel will be linked with left↔right movement of the even-numbered channel.
Pattern 6→6Front/rear and left/right movement will both be linked in the opposite direction.
Pattern 7→7Left↔right movement of the odd-numbered channel will be linked with front↔rear movement of the even-numbered channel. Front↔rear movement of the odd-numbered channel will be linked with right↔left movement of the even-numbered channel.
Pattern 8→8Left↔right movement of the odd-numbered channel will be linked with rear↔front movement of the even-numbered channel. Front↔rear movement of the odd-numbered channel will be linked with left↔right movement of the even-numbered channel.

6 Edit other parameters as desired.

In the SURR PARAM screen you can also edit the following parameters.

Divergence

These controls specify the proportion at which the signals are sent to each surround bus when the input channel is positioned in the center. The parameters that are displayed will depend on the surround mode that is currently selected. (For details, refer to p.309)

LFE

This adjusts the output level of the signal sent from the input channel to the LFE (Low Frequency Effect) bus for a subwoofer. You can also use the ON/OFF button to switch the signal sent from the input channel to the LFE bus on/off.

Hint

  • The master level of each surround bus is shown in the upper right of the screen.
  • You can use the SURR VIEW screen to see the surround pan settings of all channels at a glance.

Here are some notes and limitations that you should be aware of when using surround pan.

Scene recall operations

  • The surround mode selection and the surround pan settings of each channel are stored as part of the scene.
  • If you recall a scene whose surround mode differs from the current scene, the screen and panel display will change accordingly. The surround mode is recalled regardless of Selective Recall or Recall Safe settings.
  • If one channel (of a pair of channels) is excluded from recall, and you recall a scene in which the STEREO LINK button is on, the STEREO LINK button will remain on but only the other channel (of the pair) will be recalled.
  • SURROUND BUS SETUP settings (MIX bus 1-8/9-16 selection, and assignments to each surround channel) are not included in the scene data.

□ Channel library recall operations

  • Surround pan related parameters for inputs are stored in the input channel library.
  • If the STEREO LINK button is on, and you recall input channel library settings, the STEREO LINK button will remain on, but only one channel will be recalled. Subsequent operation will be according to STEREO LINK.

□ Channel copy

  • When you copy an input channel using panel operations, surround-related parameters will also be copied.
  • In order to copy surround-related parameters using the CH JOB screen (INPUT VIEW function), the ALL button must be turned on in the DESTINATION area.

Global paste

  • In order to paste surround-related parameters, the ALL button must be turned on in the CURRENT SCENE area of the GLOBAL PASTE screen (SCENE function). In addition, the settings of the STEREO LINK area will also be pasted if two adjacent channels are selected.

Using the FADER MODE section

In the FADER MODE section you can switch the channels that are assigned to DCA faders 1-8 of the panel DCA strip. For each of six layers A-F, you can specify the channel that is assigned to each fader. For example, you might use this to simultaneously control the send level and return level of an internal effect, or to use a fader as the master fader of a MIX bus or MATRIX bus.

In tandem with switching the FADER MODE section layer, you can also switch the machine being controlled by panel operations, the INPUT channel strip, the ST IN/FX RTN channel strip, and the STEREO A/B channel strip layer.

For each layer you can specify the channel/machine/layer that is assigned to each fader, and use the FADER MODE section to switch between layers while you operate the faders.

Items in the FADER MODE section

In the FADER MODE section you can select the layers or DCA groups that will be controlled.

DCA1-8DCA fader 1-8
MONITOROutput level from the MONITOR OUT L/R/C jacks
CUEOutput level from the CUE OUT jacks
----Fader disabled
STAYNo change

Hint

  • If an input channel or a DCA fader 1–8 is selected, the channel name is displayed immediately below the channel selection box.
  • Input channels and output channels can coexist in the same layer.
  • Channels of each machine cascade-connected with the DSP5D are assigned to the channels that show the corresponding machine ID (#1--#3). Channels of the currently selected machine are assigned to the channels for which a machine ID is not shown. However, MONITOR and CUE are fixed at PM5D (#1).

3 As desired, use the MACHINE ID box corresponding to the layer (A-F) you want to operate to select the machine that will be controlled from the panel.

To select a machine, move the cursor and turn the [DATA] encoder and press the [ENTER] key to confirm. The machines that can be selected are "#1" (PM5D), "#2" (DSP5D), "#3" (DSP5D), or "STAY" (no change).

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Hint - 1

As desired, use the INPUT box and ST IN/FX RTN box for the layer (A-F) you want to operate to select the INPUT channel strip and ST IN/FX RTN channel strip layers.

5 As desired, change the assignment of the STEREO A/B channel strip (fader and [ON] key).

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Hint - 4

To change the assignment, move the cursor and turn the [DATA] encoder and press the [ENTER] key to confirm. You can select the following assignments.

STA/B STEREO A/B channels
- MONITOR Output level from the MONITOR OUT L/R/C jacks
- CUE Output level from the MONITOR OUT L/R/C jacks

6 In the same way, assign the channel/machine/ layer for other layers.

Hint

The settings of the FADER MODE section are not saved in the scene. If desired, you can save these settings on a memory card as DCA FADER MODE data.

Switching the FADER MODE section layer

1 In the FADER MODE section, use the FADER MODE [A]-[F] keys to select the layer you want to use.

The key LED will light, and the corresponding layer will become active. If input channels are assigned to the DCA faders, the channel names will appear in the name indicators of the DCA strip.

Hint

You can also switch layers from within the FADER ASSIGN screen. This screen also shows the values of the DCA faders and their approximate positions.

2 Operate the faders of the DCA strip.

The level of the corresponding channels will change. If a channel assigned to a DCA fader is paired (or if one side of a stereo channel is assigned), the level of the other paired channel (or the other side of the stereo channel) will follow.

Note

If a FADER MODE [A]-[F] key is on, the DCA channel strip [MUTE] keys can be used as [ON] keys of the corresponding channels. The [CUE] keys can also be used as [CUE] keys for the corresponding channels.

The PM5D lets you prohibit changes to certain parameters (Parameter Lock), disabling file loading (Load Lock), or prohibit operation of the console (Console Lock). For example, this lets you prevent an unauthorized person from operating the console while the engineer is taking a break.

You can also apply password protection to the lock function using a "system password" which is remembered even after power-off, or a "console password" which is cleared when the power is turned off. You will be able to use Parameter Lock, Load Lock, and Console Lock if you've specified a system password; you will only be able to use Console Lock if you've specified a console password.

Setting the System Password or Console Password

Here's how to set the password used for Parameter Lock and Console Lock. However, it is possible to apply the lock function even if a password has not been specified.

1 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, repeatedly press the [UTILITY] key to access the SECURITY screen.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Setting the System Password or Console Password - 1

In this screen you can use the SYSTEM PASSWORD and CONSOLE PASSWORD fields located at the left to specify the passwords. (If no password has been specified, the corresponding box will indicate "--FREE--".)

2 To set the system password, click the button for the SYSTEM PASSWORD field. To set the console password, click the button for the CONSOLE PASSWORD field.

A window will appear, and you will be asked to input the new password. (The upper left of the window indicates "NEW PASSWORD.")

As an example, the illustration below shows the SYSTEM PASSWORD CHANGE window where you specify the system password.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Setting the System Password or Console Password - 2

Note

  • If a password has already been input, you will be requested to input the old password. (The upper left of the window indicates "OLD PASSWORD".) In this case, input the existing password and click the OK button before you continue to step 3.
  • If you want to return the system to a condition in which a password has not been specified, input the existing password, click the OK button, and then leave the new password field blank when you execute steps 3-5.

3 Use the character palette to input a password of up to eight characters in the NEW PASS-WORD text box.

The characters you input are displayed as * asterisks).

Any character of the character palette except for SPACE can be used in a password. (The password is case-sensitive; i.e., uppercase and lowercase alphabetical characters are distinguished.) When inputting a password, the COPY, PASTE, SPACE, INS, , and keys of the character palette cannot be used.

4 Click the OK button.

The indication in the upper left of the window will change to "RE-ENTER PASSWORD".

5 Input the same password once again, and click the OK button.

The password will be applied, and you will return to the SECURITY screen.

Note

The console password will be cleared when the PM5D is powered-off. In contrast, the system password is remembered even after the power is turned off. This means that if you forget the system password, you will be unable to defeat Parameter Lock or Console Lock except by initializing the entire memory of the PM5D (p.160). Please be careful not to lose the system password.

Using Parameter Lock or Console Lock

Here's how to lock parameters or the console. You can also lock using the password you specified.

1 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, repeatedly press the [UTILITY] key to access the SECURITY screen.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Using Parameter Lock or Console Lock - 1

2 If you want to lock only specific parameters, use the buttons of the LOCK PARAMETER SELECT area to select the parameters for which you want to prohibit editing.

When you click a button, a check mark will appear for the selected item. You can select the following

Note

  • As long as the PARAMETER LOCK button is on, the above settings cannot be edited. You will need to defeat the lock function before editing them.
  • If you turn on the RECALL LOCK button, the specified parameters will also be unaffected by scene or library recall operations.

3 Depending on the items you want to lock, click either the PARAMETER LOCK button, LOAD LOCK button or CONSOLE LOCK button.

If a password has been specified, a window will ask you to input the password. If you click the CANCEL button without inputting a password in this window, you will return to the previous screen.

Note

If the LOAD LOCK button is on, synchronization can occur only from this unit to PM5D Editor/DSP5D Editor (not the reverse) when synchronizing with PM5D Editor/DSP5D Editor.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 1

4 Input the password you assigned beforehand, and click the OK button.

If you clicked the PARAMETER LOCK button in step 3, a message of "Parameter Locked" will appear briefly, and then editing will be disabled for the selected parameters.

If you clicked the CONSOLE LOCK button in step 3, an indication of "CONSOLE LOCKED" will appear on the screen, and all operations other than pressing the UNLOCK button will be disabled.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 2

5 To defeat Parameter Lock, click the PARAMETER LOCK button. To defeat Console Lock, click the UNLOCK button.

If a password has been specified, a window will ask you to input the password. Input the password and click the OK button to defeat the lock function. You will return to the screen in which you were prior to applying the security setting.

Note

The console password will be cleared when the PM5D is powered-off. In contrast, the system password is remembered even after the power is turned off. This means that if you forget the system password, you will be unable to defeat Parameter Lock or Console Lock except by initializing the entire memory of the PM5D (p.160). Please be careful not to lose the system password.

You can share buses by cascade-connecting a PM5D and DSP5D, multiple PM5D units (maximum of four units), or a PM5D with an external mixer (Yamaha DM2000/02R96, etc.). When multiple PM5D/DSP5D units are cascade-connected, operations such as scene store/recall, cue/solo, and dimmer can also be linked.

Example of cascade connections between the PM5D and DSP5D

Up to two DSP5D units can be cascade-connected to one PM5D unit. By going through a DCU5D digital cabling unit, you can also utilize long-distance routing via Ethernet cable. For details, refer to p.31.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Example of cascade connections between the PM5D and DSP5D - 1

Example of cascade connections between PM5D units

Here we will explain cascade connections and operation, using an example in which two PM5D units are cascade-connected.

To cascade-connect two PM5D units, connect the CASCADE IN connectors and CASCADE OUT connectors of the two units to each other. This allows the MIX bus, STE-REO bus, and CUE bus output signals to be transmitted and received between the two units.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Example of cascade connections between PM5D units - 1

If you want operations such as scene store/recall and cue/ solo to be linked between the two PM5D units, specify one unit as the cascade master and the other as the cascade slave. (This setting is made in the SYS/W.CLOCK function MIXER SETUP screen.) The PM5D assigned as the cascade master will output control signals (operational signals) via its CASCADE IN connector, and the PM5D assigned as the cascade slave will receive these signals via its CASCADE OUT connector.

Hint

  • If you want to daisy-chain two to four PM5D units (i.e., connect the first unit's CASCADE OUT second unit's CASCADE IN, and the second unit's CASCADE OUT third unit's CASCADE IN. Up to four units can be connected.), you should assign the PM5D located last in the chain (the PM5D connected only via its CASCADE IN connector) as the cascade master, and the remaining PM5D units as cascade slaves ( p.226).
  • If you want to cascade-connect a PM5D with a Yamaha DM2000 or 02R96, connect the CASCADE OUT connector of the DM2000/02R96 to the CASCADE IN connector of the PM5D. However in this case, it is not possible to link operations.
  • If you want to cascade-connect the PM5D with any other external mixer, use I/O cards installed in slots 1-4 to send and receive the audio signals (p.224).

Specifying the DSP5D's machine ID number

When cascade-connecting the PM5D and DSP5D, you must specify a unique ID number for each machine (PM5D and DSP5D). Specify the machine ID number as #1 (PM5D), #2 (first DSP5D unit), and #3 (second DSP5D unit).

Note

  • The PM5D's machine ID number is fixed at #1, so you don't need to set it.
  • For a system in which only DSP5Ds are connected in cascade, set the machine ID number of the first DSP5D to #1, and set the second DSP5D to #2.

Making settings on the DSP5D itself

1 Power-on the DSP5D, and press the mode switch located on the rear panel.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Power-on the DSP5D, and press the mode switch located on the rear panel. - 1

2 Between one and three of the front panel IN/OUT [TX]/[RX] LEDs will light, corresponding to the machine ID number (1-3).

One LED (OUT [TX]) is lit to indicate machine #1 (a system consisting of only the DSP5D), two LEDs (OUT [TX]/[RX]) are lit to indicate machine #2 (the first DSP5D unit), and three LEDs (OUT [TX][RX] IN[TX]) are lit to indicate machine #3 (the second DSP5D unit) is selected.

Note

The machine ID number LED indication will return to the normal display when you have not pressed the mode switch for five seconds or more.

Making settings from DSP5D Editor

1 Synchronize DSP5D Editor with the DSP5D itself.
2 In the Mixer Setup window, use Cascade Connection to specify the machine ID number.

Note

For details, refer to the DSP5D Editor Owner's Manual.

Basic settings for cascade connection

Here we will explain the basic settings needed when cascade-connecting the PM5D and DSP5D, and when cascade-connecting two PM5D units bi-directionally.

Cascade-connecting the PM5D and DSP5D

1 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, repeatedly press the [SYS/W.CLOCK] key until the MIXER SETUP screen appears.

*1. Linked parameters are specified in the CASCADE screen.

In the CASCADE TO field, select either "PM5D" or "--" (transmission disabled) as the external device to which the signal will be sent from the PM5D via the cascade connection.

6 Make sure that "CASCADE IN" is selected for the CASCADE IN PORT SELECT field, and "CAS-CADE OUT" is selected for the CASCADE OUT PORT SOURCE SELECT field.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Hint - 5

The CASCADE IN PORT SELECT and CASCADE OUT PORT SOURCE SELECT fields select the ports

through which audio signals will be transmitted to and received from the cascade-connected external device. If "PM5D" or "DM2000/02R96" are selected as the other cascade-connected device, only "CASCADE IN" can be selected for the CASCADE IN PORT SELECT field. In the CASCADE OUT PORT SOURCE SELECT field, you can choose from the output channels of slots 1-4 as well as "CASCADE OUT" (p.225).

Hint

If you choose a setting other than "CASCADE OUT" in the CASCADE OUT PORT SOURCE SELECT field, the same signal will be output from both the specified slot/channel and from the CASCADE OUT connector.

Cascade slave (bi-directional cascade connections between PM5D units)

1 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, repeatedly press the [SYS/W.CLOCK] key to access the MIXER SETUP screen.
2 In the CASCADE CONNECTION area located at the bottom of the screen, click the TYPE SELECT button to access the CASCADE TYPE SELECT window.
3 Select "PM5D - PM5D" as the connection type, and click the OK button to close the window.
4 In the CASCADE MODE area at the lower part of the screen, select "SLAVE". In addition, turn on the BI-DIRECTION button located immediately below it.
5 Select "PM5D" in the CASCADE FROM field and in the CASCADE TO field.
6 Make sure that "CASCADE IN" is selected in the CASCADE IN PORT SELECT field, and "CAS-CADE OUT" is selected in the CASCADE OUT PORT SOURCE SELECT field.

Selecting the buses used for cascade connection

Here we will explain how to select the buses used for the cascade connection, specify the items that will be linked, and enable the cascade connection. Perform the following steps on both the cascade master and cascade slave units.

1 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, repeatedly press the [SYS/W.CLOCK] key until the CASCADE screen shown below appears.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, repeatedly press the [SYS/W.CLOCK] key until the CASCADE screen shown below appears. - 1

In this combination you can enable/disable buses used for transmission/reception in the cascade connection, and select the operations that will be linked when multiple PM5D units are cascade-connected.

Note

In the case of a system that is cascade-connected to the DSP5D, the system will always operate as though the CASCADE LINK area's LINK button is on; this setting cannot be changed.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - In the CASCADE LINK area at the left of the screen, turn on the buttons for the operations that you want to be linked. - 1

The settings of the CASCADE LINK area select the operations that will be linked when multiple PM5D units are cascade-connected. You can select the following items.

  • SCENE RECALL

Note

  • Note that linking is enabled only if the LINK buttons for the same item are turned on for both the cascade master unit and the cascade slave unit.
  • If you have cascade-connected three or more PM5D units in a daisy-chain, you can also turn linking off for the cascade master but on between the cascade slaves.

Hint

DCA and MUTE parameter values will be linked as soon as linking is turned on. CUE/SOLO will be initialized as soon as linking is turned on. Other parameters will be linked only when that parameter is first operated after Link is turned on.

3 In the CASCADE I/O ASSIGN VIEW area, use the CASCADE IN and CASCADE OUT ON/OFF buttons to specify whether each bus will transmit or receive audio signals to or from the external cascade-connected device.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Hint - 1

The CASCADE IN and CASCADE OUT ON/OFF buttons specify whether signals of each bus will be transmitted to or received from the cascade-connected external device. These settings are made independently for each bus; MIX buses 1-24, STEREO A bus L/R, STEREO B bus L/R, and CUE bus L/R.

Buses whose CASCADE IN button is on will receive signals from the external device; buses whose CASCADE OUT button is on will send signals to the external device.

The CASCADE IN SOURCE fields indicate each of the source buses. If the other cascade-connected device is a PM5D or DSP5D, these assignments are fixed and cannot be modified.

Note

  • When two PM5D units are cascade-connected, signal transmission and reception is enabled if the CASCADE OUT button of the transmitting unit and the CASCADE IN button of the receiving unit are both turned on for the same bus.
  • If a device other than the PM5D/DSP5D is selected as the other cascade-connected device, the transmission source indication shown in the CASCADE IN SOURCE field will change (→ p.227).

4 Using the PARAM LINK ON/OFF button located in the CASCADE I/O ASSIGN VIEW area, specify whether channel parameters will be linked between machines.

You can specify this for every two adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered channels. Turn this on if you want each machine to output the same signal.

5 Set the CASCADE ENABLED/DISABLED button to ENABLED.

When you click the DISABLED button, it may take up to 10 minutes for cascade connection to be enabled.

The cascade connection will be enabled when the CASCADE ENABLED/DISABLED button is set to ENABLED on both the cascade master and the cascade slave.

Note

If the word clock becomes unlocked while the machines are synchronized (before cascade connection is enabled), the operation of each machine may become unstable. If this occurs, please power-cycle each machine.

Connecting the PM5D to your computer via USB

The PM5D Editor application can be installed in a computer and used to control the PM5D's parameters or to backup and restore the contents of the PM5D's memory.

Here we will explain the operations required in order to establish a USB connection between the PM5D and a computer.

Note

The following procedure assumes that the PM5D Editor program and USB-MIDI driver have already been correctly installed in the computer. Before you continue, download the program and driver from the Yamaha website and install them. http://www.yamahaaproaudio.com/

2 In the PM5D EDITOR area at the lower right of the screen, select the port to which the computer is connected, and select the PM5D's ID number.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 2

First use the PORT field to select the port that will be used to communicate with the computer. Click the 4 / 5 buttons located at the left and right of the left box to select the type of port, and press the [ENTER] key (or click inside the box) to finalize your selection. If you select USB or SLOT 1-4, use the box at the right to select a port number 1-8.

Next, use the ID field to select an ID number in the range of 1-8 for the PM5D that you want to control. (This number is used to distinguish individual PM5D units when multiple units are being used together.)

Note

Set the USB port number and PM5D ID number to match the settings in the PM5D Editor. For details, refer to the PM5D Editor owner's manual.

3 Start up PM5D Editor on the computer, and use a USB cable to connect the computer to the PM5D.

This enables communication between the computer and the PM5D. For details on operation, refer to the PM5D Editor owner's manual.

Note

  • If you disconnect or reconnect the USB cable, or power-cycle the PM5D, you must close the PM5D Editor and shut down the computer. In some cases, it may not be possible to reconnect with the PM5D until the computer is restarted.
  • Use a USB cable no longer than 3 meters. Also, connect the PM5D directly to the USB connector of the computer; do not use a USB hub.

Caution when using the USB TO HOST connector

You must observe the following points when connecting the PM5D to your computer via the USB TO HOST connector. If you fail to observe these points, your computer or the PM5D may stop operating ("hang up"), causing data to be corrupted or lost. If the computer or the PM5D stops working, turn the power off and then on again, and restart the computer.

  • Before connecting the computer via the USB TO HOST connector, disable the power management mode (suspend/sleep/standby/hibernate) on your computer.
  • Connect the USB TO HOST connector to the computer before you power-on the PM5D.
  • Close all application programs (such as PM5D Editor) before turning the PM5D's power on or off, or connecting or disconnecting the USB cable.
  • Leave an interval of at least three seconds between powering the PM5D on and off, or between disconnecting and connecting the USB cable.

You can use the DSP5D Editor program installed in your computer to control the DSP5D's parameters and to back up and restore the contents of its memory.

Here we will explain the necessary steps for using an Ethernet cable to connect the DSP5D to your computer.

Note

  • The following steps assume that the DSP5D Editor program and DME-N Network driver have been correctly installed in your computer. Before you continue, download the program and driver from the Yamaha website and install them. http://www.yamahaaproaudio.com/
  • For details on settings when using the DSP5D by itself, refer to the DSP5D Editor Owner's Manual. If you do not know the network settings, you can initialize the internal memory ( p.160) to return the settings to the default values listed in step 3.

① IP ADDRESS

This specifies the number (IP address) that is assigned in order to distinguish individual devices within the Internet or LAN (Local Area Network). Set this so that it does not conflict with other devices on the network.

② GATEWAY ADDRESS

This specifies a number (gateway address) that distinguishes devices (gateway) that convert data between different media or protocols to allow communication

within the network. Set this so that it does not conflict with the IP address of other devices on the network.

(3) SUBNET MASK

Within the IP address used in the network, this defines the bits that are used for the network address that distinguishes the network.

3 Specify the IP address, gateway address, and subnet mask by clicking the 1 / 2 buttons located at the left and right of each box.

If you're connecting the DSP5D and your computer in a one-to-one connection, we recommend that you use the following default values.

IP address 192.168.0.129
Gateway address 192.168.0.1
- Subnet mask 255.255.255.0

4 Click OK to close the NETWORK window.

5 Make network settings on your computer.

For the case of the example shown above, set the IP address in the range 192.168.0.2-127, and set the gateway address and subnet mask to the same value as the DSP5D.

6 Use an Ethernet cable to connect the computer and the DSP5D, and start up DSP5D Editor on your computer.

This will allow communication between your computer and the DSP5D. For specific operating procedures, refer to the DSP5D Editor Owner's Manual.

Initializing the PM5D's internal memory

If an error occurs in the PM5D's internal memory, or if you are unable to return to normal operation because you have forgotten the system password, use the following procedure to initialize the internal memory.

If problems with certain faders were detected during start-up, those buttons will be on (green), and check marks will already be shown for them.

2 Click the START CALIBRATION button; calibration will begin automatically.

A progress bar will indicate the state of the process.

3 The automatic processing will end when the progress bar reaches 60% . Manually move all faders you specified for calibration to the positions listed below in the following order:

① -∞
② -20 dB
③ 0 ~dB
④ +10 dB

4 After you have set the faders to the correct position, press the [ENTER] key.

Processing will proceed to the next fader position.

5 Repeat steps 3-4 for each fader position ① - ④
6 Verify that calibration has been completed and that all fader select buttons are now off. Then click the OK button.

The calibration settings will be stored in internal memory. If a fader select button remains on (green), calibration has failed. Try executing calibration once again.

Note

The progress bar will indicate "Writing..." while the settings are being written to internal memory; do not turn off the power while this indication is visible.

Adjusting the analog input gain (PM5D-RH model only)

If necessary, you can make fine adjustments in steps of 0.1 dB to the gain of the specified analog input port. Since the input levels of all ports are set to match each other when the PM5D is shipped from the factory, you will normally not need to change these settings.

Note

  • Since these are set to optimal values at the factory, the default values will differ between input ports. Initializing the internal memory will return these settings to their factory-set values.
  • Fine adjustments of the DSP5D's input/output gain should be made from DSP5D Editor.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 1

To adjust the gain, click the 4 / 6 buttons located at the left and right of each box to specify the gain of each input port in 0.1 dB units. If you want to restore all input ports to their factory settings, click the FACTORY PRESET button. Click the OK button to apply the settings.

Please note that Y96K cards will operate as follows.

  • Settings will be stored/recalled as scene data, but the Undo function is not supported.
  • If you power the PM5D off and then on again, the conventional scene data will be in the state of when the power was turned off, but the Y96K will be in the state that was last stored or recalled.
  • If you recall a scene that produces a major change in the Y96K's settings, the Y96K's settings will change several seconds after recall occurs on the PM5D. If you want to match this timing, set the appropriate START OFFSET in the FADE TIME screen.
  • Do not execute scene store or recall operations while the screen indicates that the Y96K is waiting to update. If you do so, the screen will become inoperable for up to 30 seconds.
  • The Y96K's settings will be saved in the PM5D when you store the scene. If in the past you had stored a scene with a Y96K installed, and you then once again store that scene without the Y96K installed, the previous Y96K settings will remain. If there is a scene for which a Y96K has never been installed, and you install a Y96K and then recall that scene, nothing will be reflected in the Y96K.
  • In PREVIEW mode, the PLUG-IN screen will not show the state of the Y96K.

⑫ Faders

These faders cut/boost the frequency bands of the graphic EQ. The actual values are shown in the numerical boxes below.

⑬ ASSIGN TO FADERS

These buttons divide the 31 bands of the graphic EQ into six groups so that you can use the DCA faders to adjust the boost/cut amount of each band. Click one of the six buttons A (20.0-100), B (63.0-315), C (200-1.00k), D (630-3.15k), E (2.00k-10.0k), F (4.00k-20.0k). DCA faders 1-8 will be assigned to the corresponding region of frequency bands, allowing you to control them with the DCA faders. At this time, the divisions of the corresponding faders and the value in the numerical box screen will turn red in the screen. To return to the original state, press the DCA (OFF) button in the screen or the [DCA] button on the panel.

Note

  • If the ASSIGN TO FADERS buttons A-F are off, you can hold down the [SHIFT] button on the panel and press a FADER MODE section button [A]-[F], and then use the DCA faders to control the corresponding region of the graphic EQ in the same way as if you had pressed a button A-F in the screen.
  • The currently selected DCA fader mode (DCA, A-F) is disabled while one of the ASSIGN TO FADERS buttons A-F is on. At this time, you can also use the FADER MODE section buttons [A]-[F] to switch between regions of the graphic EQ; the button for the selected region will blink, and the remaining buttons will light.
  • If the AUTO ASSIGN button is off, the setting in the ASSIGN TO FADERS field is cleared automatically when you switch screens, and the currently selected DCA fader mode will once again be enabled.

14 LIMIT

The range and direction of adjustment controlled by the faders can be selected from the following: ± 15 dB, ± 12 dB, ± 6 dB (these are valid in both the boost and cut directions), or -24 dB (valid only in the cut direction).

⑤ EQ FLAT

Resets all faders to the 0 dB position. When you click this button, a confirmation message will appear.

16 AUTO ASSIGN

This button automates assignments to the DCA faders. If this button is on, the most recently selected region of GEQ bands will be assigned to the DCA faders when you access the GEQ PARAM screen.

In addition to the above Protect setting, it will be impossible to overwrite the scene by loading a file, etc. This setting can be made only for consecutive scene numbers starting at scene number 000.

Note

  • If LINKED LIBRARY PROTECTION is turned on in the UTILITY function PREFERENCE 1 screen, libraries that are linked to READ ONLY scenes will also be protected, but they will be overwritten when a file is loaded.
  • Read Only settings will not be loaded. If you load after initializing the memory, you'll have to re-make the Read Only settings.

No symbol

The scene is not protected in any way.

⑤ SEL.RECALL (Selective recall)

For each scene, you can specify whether the Selective Recall function will be used when recalling the scene. If the Selective Recall function is enabled (p.180), scenes for which this button is turned on can recall only specific parameters. (Alternatively, you can exclude only specific parameters from the recall.)

If the scenes are sorted in order of TITLE, a check mark is displayed for scenes for which this is turned on. If the scenes are sorted in numerical order, a downward or upward arrow is displayed for scenes for which this is turned on; this makes it easy to see which was the original scene prior to selective recall.

This area shows the number and title of the INPUT PATCH library, OUTPUT PATCH library, and HA library used by each scene. You can click the button at the left to access a window that lets you change the library number that is linked. The LINK button for each library determines whether library recall operations will be linked to scene recall operations.

Cancels the preceding Recall or Store operation. You can click this once again (Redo) to return to the state prior to Undoing.

  • PREVIEW

If this button is on, the PM5D will be in PREVIEW mode; this allows you to view or edit the settings of a scene stored in memory or the settings of a library item without affecting the internal signal processing. This is linked with the [PREVIEW] key in the SCENE MEMORY section of the panel (p.88).

Note

  • Monitor settings will apply to internal signal processing even during Preview mode. You can perform cue/monitor operations while Previewing.
  • EVENT LIST, MIDI, and GPI operations will apply to internal signal processing, but not to Preview.
  • Memory card save/load operations cannot be performed during Preview.
  • During Preview, user defined operations that affect internal signal processing are disabled; such operations include EVENT LIST, TALKBACK ASSIGN, MONITOR, MIDI DIRECT OUT, MACHINE CONTROL, and GPI OUT CONTROL.

15 BLANK SKIP

Specifies how scene numbers can be selected. If the BLANK SKIP button is off, all scene numbers can be selected consecutively regardless of whether they contain scene data. In contrast if the BLANK SKIP button is on, only numbers in which a scene is actually stored can be selected. This setting applies when you switch scenes using the SCENE MEMORY [▲]/[▼] keys in the SCENE MEMORY section of the panel, the [DATA] encoder, or the l buttons in the screen.

16 EDIT

These buttons let you rearrange the order of the scenes in memory.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 1

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 2

① EVENT LIST ENABLE/DISABLE

Use the following three buttons to enable/disable the Event List function.

- DISABLE

The Event List function will not recall scenes registered in the event list.

- ENABLE [ALL MANUAL]

Scenes registered in the event list will be recalled only by manual operation. If the list contains events for which a time code has been specified, the candidate event for recall will change as time code progresses, but events will not actually be recalled unless the recall operation is performed manually.

- ENABLE

Scenes registered in the event list will be recalled according to the specified condition (time code, interval, or manual operation).

② Event list

In this list you can register the scenes to be recalled, and the conditions under which the scenes will be recalled. Click a line to select the event of that line for editing; it will be highlighted in the center of the list.

No.

Indicates the event number.

EVENT TRIGGER

This column specifies the condition that will recall each event. Click the button, and in the window that appears, use the following three buttons to select the condition.

MANUAL . . . . The event can be recalled by the DIRECT button in the EVENT RECALL area (③) or by a User Defined key. The EVENT TRIG-GER field will indicate "[MANUAL]".

INTERVAL . . . The scene will be recalled when a specified time has elapsed after the preceding scene was recalled. If you select this button, specify the wait time in the lower part of the window. The EVENT TRIGGER field in the list shows a “ ” symbol and the wait time.

TIME CODE ... The scene will be recalled when the time code (LTC, MTC, internal time code) reaches the specified time. If you select this button, specify the time code location (hours/ minutes/seconds/frames) in the lower part of the window. The EVENT TRIGGER field in the list shows the time code.

Event that will be recalled when the specified interval elapses after the previous recall operation

Event that will be recalled manually

000[MANUAL]001Opens
001→ 240.0sec000Initial Data
00200:15:00.00002ACT1
00300:52:00.00003ACT2

Event that will be recalled when time code reaches the specified location

Hint

  • As long as an event for which MANUAL is specified is selected in the list, the scene will not change until you manually execute a recall.
  • However, if a event for which TIME CODE is specified is registered later in the list, events set to MANUAL will be skipped when that time code arrives, and the corresponding scene will be recalled.
  • The condition for recalling the scene that will be recalled next is shown in the NEXT SCENE/NEXT EVENT fields in the upper part of the display.

Note

  • If time code source is OFF, events whose EVENT TRIGGER is set to TIME CODE will not be recalled unless you perform a manual recall.
  • In contrast, events whose EVENT TRIGGER is set to INTERVAL will be recalled automatically after the specified interval elapses from the previous recall operation, even if the time code source is OFF.

  • In the two-second interval after time code starts, events may not be executed because synchronization is being established. You must start time code at least two seconds earlier than an event you want to execute.

  • SCENE TITLE

This is the number and title of the scene to be recalled. Click the button, and in the window that appears, click the number of a scene to select it.

③ EVENT RECALL

Here you can recall events. The following three buttons are provided.

PREV

When you click this button, the event of the line preceding the last-recalled event will be recalled and selected.

DIRECT

When you click this button, the event currently selected in the event list will be recalled. This is used mainly to recall an event whose EVENT TRIGGER field is set to "[MANUAL]".

NEXT

When you click this button, the event of the line following the last-recalled event will be recalled and selected.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 1

(4) AUTO CAPTURE

This button lets you automatically register events in realtime while time code runs. If time code is running and this button is on, using the buttons of the panel SCENE MEMORY to recall a scene will cause the corresponding scene number and time code location to be captured, and this will be added as a new event.

Note

  • If the list contains previously-recorded events, they will be sorted in descending order of their time code.
  • If an event already exists at the identical time code location, it will be overwritten by the new event.
  • Even if time code source is "OFF," performing a recall operation while this button is on will register a new event in the list. In this case, the EVENT TRIGGER field will be registered as "[MANUAL]".
  • If an offset value is specified, the sum of the offset value and the displayed time code is captured as the time code.

⑤ MOVE UP

This button moves the currently selected event one position earlier in the event list.

(6) MOVE DOWN

This button moves the currently selected event one position later in the event list.

Note

  • The MOVE UP/DOWN buttons are available only for events whose EVENT TRIGGER field is shown as "[MANUAL]" or the "→" symbol.
  • If the EVENT TRIGGER field of the selected event shows a time code, these buttons will be grayed-out and unavailable.

(7) MANUAL INSERT

This button inserts a new event at the location selected in the event list. The EVENT TRIGGER field of the new event will be “[MANUAL],” and its SCENE TITLE field will be “no assignment.” You can change these as desired.

(8) MANUAL OVERWRITE

This button overwrites a new event onto the location currently selected in the event list. (If the line at the current location is blank, this button will be grayed-out and unavailable.) The EVENT TRIGGER field of the new event will be "[MANUAL]."

⑨ TIME CODE SETUP

Here you can make settings for the time code received by the PM5D.

- TC SOURCE (Time code source)

Select one of the following as the time code source that will be used.

OFF . Time code will not be received.

INTERNAL .... The time code generated within the PM5D will be used.

TIME CODE . . . The time code (LTC) received via the rear panel TIME CODE connector will be used.

MIDI . The MIDI time code (MTC) received via the rear panel MIDI IN connector will be used.

USB . The MIDI time code received from the specified port via the rear panel USB connector will be used.

SLOT 1-4 .... If a card that supports MIDI input is installed in one of the rear panel slots, the MIDI time code received from the specified port will be used.

Note

  • This setting does not affect the MIDI REMOTE function MIDI SETUP screen.
  • If you select USB or SLOT 1-4, you will need to specify the port number (1-8) in the field on the right (Depending on the card that is installed, some slots may have only one port.)
  • If you switch to INTERNAL, the time code will be set to the Start Time value.

- FRAME RATE

Select one of the following as the frame rate for the time code (LTC, MTC, internal time code) you are using.

30 30 frames/second (non-drop)

30D 30 frames/second (drop frame)

29.97 29.97 frames/second (non-drop)

29.97D . . . . 29.97 frames/second (drop frame)

25 25 frames/second

24 24 frames/second

- OFFSET TIME/START TIME

If INTERNAL is selected as the time code source, use this field to specify the time at which internal time code will begin (START TIME).

If any other time code source is selected, use this field to specify the offset (OFFSET TIME). The offset is the interval by which the timing at which scenes are recalled is adjusted backward or forward relative to the incoming time code (LTC or MTC).

In either case, you can edit the value by clicking the button and specifying the value in hours/minutes/seconds/frames units in the window that appears.

Time code display area

This displays the value of the incoming time code (LTC or MTC) or the internal time code. If INTERNAL is selected as the time code source, transport buttons are shown immediately below the time code value; you can use these buttons to rewind, stop, or start the internal time code.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Time code display area - 1

In addition, if INTERNAL is selected you can click the button to access the TIME CODE window, and specify the time code directly.

Note

An offset value is not added to the displayed time code.

⑪ TIME CODE INSERT

This button registers the time code data in the list in realtime. When the time code source is running, clicking this button will capture the time code value and add it as a new event. The captured time code is input in the EVENT TRIGGER field of the new event, and the SCENE TITLE field will be "no assignment." At this time, the events within the list are sorted in descending order of time code. (If an event exists at the same time location, it will be overwritten by the new event.)

Note

If the time code source is OFF, the EVENT TRIGGER column will be [MANUAL]. If the time code source is TIME CODE, MIDI, USB, or SLOT 1-4, the offset value has been added to the time code value of the newly added event.

⑫ TIME CODE OVERWRITE

This button replaces the time code of the event selected in the list in realtime. When the time code source is running, clicking this button will write the current time location as the time code value of the currently selected event. (The SCENE TITLE field will not change.) At this time, the events within the list are sorted in descending order of time code.

If a blank line is selected, this button is grayed-out.

Note

If the time code source is OFF, the EVENT TRIGGER column will be [MANUAL]. If the time code source is TIME CODE, MIDI, USB, or SLOT 1-4, the offset value has been added to the rewritten time code value.

13 SCENE INSERT

This button inserts one or more consecutive scenes from scene memory into the event list. Use the FROM/ TO fields located at right to specify the starting and ending scene numbers, and click this button; the specified scenes will be inserted as new events for recall immediately before the currently selected event. The EVENT TRIGGER field is set to "[MANUAL]" for all of the new events.

14 SCENE OVERWRITE

This button overwrites the scene assignments of consecutive events in the event list with multiple consecutive scenes from scene memory. Use the FROM/TO fields located at right to specify the starting and ending scene numbers, and click this button; starting at the currently selected line of the event list, the SCENE TITLE field of the corresponding number of subsequent events will be rewritten to the scenes you specified. (The EVENT TRIGGER field will not change.) If a blank line is selected, this button is grayed-out.

15 DELETE

This button deletes the event selected in the event list. If a blank line is selected, this button is grayed-out.

16 UNDO

This button returns the event list to its state prior to the most recent editing operation. If undo cannot be executed, this button is grayed-out.

17 ALL DELETE

This button deletes all events from the event list. When you click this button, a confirmation message will appear.

Note

If you edit the list (4-8,11-17) or change the time code, the NEXT EVENT button in the constantly-displayed area will search from the current time code. However if the time code source is OFF, or if there is no time code setting in the EVENT TRIGGER field (only for [MANUAL] and [INTERVAL]), the NEXT EVENT will be the beginning of the list.

SELECTIVE RECALL screen

In this screen you can make settings for the Selective Recall function, which, independently for each scene, lets you exclude specific parameters/channels from recall, or conversely recall only specific parameters/channels.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - SELECTIVE RECALL screen - 1

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - SELECTIVE RECALL screen - 2

① SELECTIVE RECALL ENABLED/DISABLED

Enables/disables Selective Recall for the currently selected scene. If this button is set to DISABLED, the Selective Recall function is disabled.

Note

  • Unlike the RECALL SAFE screen (→ p.182) which is common to all scenes, the settings in the SELECTIVE RECALL screen are independent for each scene.
  • If you edit the settings of the SELECTIVE RECALL screen, you must store that scene in order to make your changes effective.

(2) SELECTION MODE

Use the following two buttons to choose how you want to use the SELECTIVE RECALL screen.

- SAFE PARAMETER button

If this button is on, you can specify the channels/ parameters that will be excluded from recall operations.

- RECALL PARAMETER button

If this button is on, you can specify the channels/ parameters that will be recalled. Immediately after you switch buttons, all channels/ parameters will be subject to recall.

③ OUTPUT ISOLATION

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - ⑤ OFFSET LOCK - 1

⑥ ON (Tracking On)

These buttons enable/disable tracking for each channel. If the TRACKING RECALL ENABLED/ DISABLED button is set to ENABLED, tracking is enabled on channels for which this button is ON.

Note

If OFFSET LOCK (⑤) is off, turning this button on will reset the tracking offset of the corresponding channel to 0 dB. If in this state you operate the fader of the corresponding channel, the relative amount of fader movement from the point at which this button was turned on will be memorized as the tracking offset. You can then turn OFFSET LOCK on to lock the offset. This offset value will be added whenever you subsequently recall a scene.

⑦ Tracking offset

Here you can specify the offset value applied to each channel if tracking is enabled. The range is ± 15 dB. While OFFSET LOCK (⑤) is off, operating the panel faders will cause these values to change as well; however, adjusting the offset values in the screen will not cause the panel faders to move.

GLOBAL PASTE screen

⑥ MIDI message

From the top, these fields assign MIDI messages to the ENCODER [ON] keys, encoders, CH [ON] keys, and faders. Click the 念 to open the MIDI REMOTE SETUP window, and input the message as hexadecimal values. You can input the following values.

ValueAvailable AssignmentsContent
00(H)-FF(H)AllThe MIDI message that is trans-mitted (hexadecimal).
ENDAllIndicates the end of the MIDI message. When you operate the corresponding controller, the MIDI message from the begin-ning until immediately before END will be transmitted.
SWAllIndicates the on/off status of the encoder [ON] key or the channel [ON] key. A value of 7F(H) is transmitted when the key turns on, and a value of 00(H) is trans-mitted when the key turns off. If this is assigned to an ENCODER or FADER, the current value of the key will be transmitted when the encoder or fader is operated.
ENCENCODER ON/ENCODERIndicates the current position of the encoder. If assigned to an ENCODER, a value of 00-7F(H) is transmitted when the encoder is operated. If assigned to an ENCODER [ON] key, the current value of the encoder is transmit-ted when the key is switched on.
FADCH ON/FADERIndicates the current position of the fader. If assigned to a FADER, a value of 00-7F(H) is transmitted when the fader is operated. If assigned to a CH [ON] key, the current value of the fader is transmitted when the key is switched on.

Hint

When you click a hexadecimal value, the region interpreted as a MIDI message that includes that value will be displayed in red.

⑦ LEARN

Use this button to assign a received MIDI message to a controller. When you turn on one of the four LEARN buttons, the MIDI message received by the PM5D will be assigned to the corresponding controller. The LEARN function uses the MIDI messages received at the input port specified by the MIDI REMOTE OUTPUT PORT in the MIDI SETUP screen.

Hint

  • MIDI messages assigned using the LEARN button can be a maximum of 16 bytes long (the 17th and subsequent bytes are discarded). If the message is less than 16 bytes long, END will be immediately after the last data value.
  • If a control change is received, the third byte will automatically be replaced by FAD (if the assignment destination is FADER), ENC (if the assignment destination is ENCODER), or SW (if the assignment destination is ENCODER ON or CH ON).
  • If more than one message is received while a LEARN button is on, the last message will be used. (If the status byte was omitted from the last message, the appropriate status byte will be added.)

(8) LATCH

If a specific byte is set to "SW" in a message assigned to an ENCODER [ON] key or CH [ON] key, use the LATCH button to select one of the following behaviors.

- If the LATCH button is on

The on/off status will change each time you press the key (Latched). If you press the key from the Off state, a MIDI message with 7F(H) as the SW value will be transmitted, and when you press the same key once again a MIDI message with 00(H) as the SW value will be transmitted.

- If the LATCH button is off

The switch will be on only while you are holding it down, and will turn off when you release it (Unlatched). Immediately after you press the key, a MIDI message with 7F(H) as the SW value will be transmitted; immediately after you release the key, a MIDI message with a SW value of 00(H) will be transmitted.

If a specific byte is set to "ENC" (or "FAD") in a message assigned to an ENCODER [ON] key or a CH [ON] key, use the LATCH button to select one of the following behaviors.

- If the LATCH button is on

If you press the key from the Off state, a MIDI message with the current setting of the encoder (or fader) as the ENC (or FAD) value will be transmitted, and when you press the same key once again a MIDI message with a value of 00(H) as the ENC (or FAD) value will be transmitted.

- If the LATCH button is off

The moment you press the key, a MIDI message with the current setting of the encoder (or fader) as the ENC (or FAD) value will be transmitted; the moment you release the key, a MIDI message with 00(H) as the ENC (or FAD) value will be transmitted.

Note

If SW/ENC/FAD is not specified as the last byte of the MIDI message, turning the key on or off will transmit the same MIDI message; i.e., the same message is transmitted when the key goes off.

- Connecting the PM5D with a DME series unit

Various methods for connecting the PM5D with a DME series unit to transmit and receive audio signals and control signals are shown below.

Note

If characters other than alphabetical characters and symbols (e.g., double-byte characters such as Japanese) are used on the DME series unit in a component name or scene name, such characters may not be displayed correctly.

Bi-directional connection via CobraNet

This connection method uses CobraNet (a format for transmitting multi-channel audio signals and control signals over Ethernet). Install a MY-16CII CobraNet card in the PM5D's slot, and use an Ethernet cable to connect it to the DME series. This method allows bi-directional transfer of audio signals over a single cable. For example, signals can be sent via the PM5D's MIX bus to the DME for processing, and then returned to a PM5D input channel.

Note

You cannot use AuviTran's AVY16-ES EtherSound card to control the DME series from the PM5D.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 1

Bi-directional connection using the CASCADE IN/OUT connectors (DME64N only)

In this connection method, the CASCADE IN connector and CASCADE OUT connector of the PM5D and the DME64N are connected to each other, allowing bi-directional transfer of audio signals.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Bi-directional connection using the CASCADE IN/OUT connectors (DME64N only) - 1

SYS/W.CLOCK function

WORD CLOCK screen

Here you can select the word clock on which the PM5D will operate. You can also view and edit settings for cards installed in slots 1-4.

WORD CLOCK

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - WORD CLOCK - 1

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - WORD CLOCK - 2

① MASTER CLOCK SELECT

As the master clock to use, you can select the internal clock or an external clock input from a connector or slot. This setting determines the sampling frequency at which the PM5D will operate. You can select the following items.

DisplayContent
INT 96kThe PM5D's internal clock (sampling rate= 96 kHz)
INT 88.2kThe PM5D's internal clock (sampling rate= 88.2 kHz)
INT 48 kThe PM5D's internal clock (sampling rate= 48 kHz)
INT 44.1 kThe PM5D's internal clock (sampling rate= 44.1 kHz)
W.CLOCK INThe word clock supplied from the rear panel WORD CLOCK IN connector
CASCADE INThe word clock supplied via the CASCADE IN connector from another cascade-connected PM5D
2TR IN D1The clock data of the digital audio signal supplied from 2TR IN DIGITAL connector 1
2TR IN D2The clock data of the digital audio signal supplied from 2TR IN DIGITAL connector 2
2TR IN D3The clock data of the digital audio signal supplied from 2TR IN DIGITAL connector 3
SLOT 1-4The clock data of the digital audio signal supplied via a digital I/O card in slot 1-4 (selectable in two-channel units)

Note

  • For the DSP5D, you cannot select 2TR IN D1-D3 or SLOT 3-4. For CASCADE IN, you can choose either the D-sub 68-pin connector or the RJ-45 connector.
  • If you make cascade or other connections using the DCU5D's CASCADE OUT (RJ-45) connector, it will not be possible to synchronize to the word clock from the DCU5D's CASCADE OUT (D-sub) connector. In this case, you'll need to provide a separate connection for the word clock.

The operational status of each clock is shown by the color of the symbol at the left of each button. Each color has the following significance.

- LOCK (blue)

This indicates that a clock synchronized with the source selected in (②) is being input. If an external device is connected to the corresponding connector or slot, input/output is occurring normally between that device and the PM5D. If the sampling frequency is close, this status may be displayed even if not synchronized.

- UNLOCK (red)

A valid clock is not being input. If an external device is connected to the corresponding connector, input/output cannot occur correctly between that device and the PM5D.

- LOCK, BUT NOT SYNC'ED (orange)

A valid clock is being input, but is not synchronized with the clock source selected in (②). If an external device is connected to the corresponding connector, input/output cannot occur correctly between that device and the PM5D.

- UNKNOWN (yellow)

This indicates that the clock status cannot be detected because no external device is connected or because there is no valid clock input. You will be able to select this connector/slot, but successful synchronization cannot occur until a valid connection is established.

- SRC ON (green)

This is a special status only for SLOT 1-4 and 2TR IN 2TR IN D1-3, indicating that the corresponding channel's SRC (Sampling Rate Converter) is enabled. This means that even if the signal is not synchronized, normal input/output with the PM5D is occurring.

Note

  • Noise may occur at the output jacks when the word clock setting is changed. In order to protect your speaker system, be sure to turn down the power amp output before changing the word clock setting.
  • If you attempt to select a channel whose SRC is on as the word clock master, a message will appear, warning you that the sampling rate converter will be disabled.

(2) Fs (Sampling frequency)

This indicates the sampling frequency at which the PM5D is operating. This will indicate "UNLOCKED" while synchronization is lost (such as immediately after switching the master clock).

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Fs (Sampling frequency) - 1

③ Slot number / Card type

This area shows the type of digital I/O card installed in slots 1-4.

④ INPUT FORMAT (Input signal format)

⑤ OUTPUT FORMAT (Output signal format)

Select one of the following as the method by which signals will be exchanged with a digital I/O card installed in the slot when the PM5D is operating at a high sampling rate (88.2/96 kHz).

- SINGLE

This setting allows transmission/reception of the normal number of channels when existing equipment that operates at 44.1 / 48kHz is connected. The sampling rate will be converted for each channel of the digital I/O card, and transmitted/received at half the sampling frequency (44.1 / 48kHz) of the PM5D. (This setting can be selected only for slots in which a digital I/O card that does not support 96kHz is installed.)

- DOUBLE SPEED

This setting allows high sampling rate audio signals to be transmitted/received without change when equipment that operates at a high sampling rate (88.2/96 kHz) is connected. (This setting can be connected only for slots in which a digital I/O card that supports 96 kHz is installed.)

- DOUBLE CHANNEL

This setting allows high sampling rate (88.2/96 kHz) audio signals to be handled when existing equipment that operates at 44.1/48 kHz is connected. Two channels of signals at half the PM5D's sampling frequency (44.1/48 kHz) are transmitted/received together as a high sampling rate monaural signal. (The number of usable channels will be half.)

(6) FREQUENCY (Sampling frequency)

This indicates the sampling frequency of the signal being input to each channel of the digital I/O card, in sets of two channels.

⑦ SRC (Sampling Rate Converter)

This button switches the Sampling Rate Converter on/off, in sets of two channels. This is available only for slots in which a digital I/O card with a built-in sampling rate converter is installed.

⑧ EMPHASIS STATUS

This indicates whether emphasis is applied to the input signal, in sets of two channels. This is available only for slots in which a digital I/O card is installed.

MIXER SETUP screen

Here you can make settings that apply to the entire PM5D system.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - MIXER SETUP screen - 1

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - MIXER SETUP screen - 2

① +48V MASTER (DSP5D only)

This is the master phantom power (+48V) switch for INPUT jacks 1-48 and ST IN jacks 1-4. If this switch is off, the +48V button shown in the display will be disabled.

(2) VIRTUAL SOUNDCHECK

This temporarily switches the input signals without affecting the scene memory (input patching). For example, this allows you to perform a sound check using pre-recorded material played back by a DAW connected to a slot, instead of the analog input material received via the INPUT jacks. When you click the button located at the left, the VIRTUAL SOUND-CHECK SETUP window will appear, allowing you to assign a replacement port for each port. To enable these settings, click the ON/OFF button located at the right.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - VIRTUAL SOUNDCHECK - 1

For each port, you can specify a port that will be substituted virtually. You cannot assign the same port to more than one port. If you assign a previously-assigned port to a different port, the patch will be turned off (shown in

gray) for the port whose assignment was taken away. If a slot is exchanged with the CASCADE IN connector, the cascade bus number will be displayed in black on a yellow background in the slot port number display area. In the example shown above, slots 1 and 2 are assigned to AD IN 1-32, so you'll be able to perform a sound check using pre-recorded audio received at slots 1 and 2 instead of the analog inputs to the INPUT jacks.

By clicking the PRESET button, you can return the settings of the VIRTUAL SOUNDCHECK SETUP window to their factory-set state.

(3) PAIR MODE

Select one of the following two methods by which input channels will be paired.

HORIZONTAL PAIR

If this button is on, input channels of adjacent numbers (1/2, 3/4 ...) will be paired.

- VERTICAL PAIR

If this button is on, input channels of different layers that share the same fader (1/25, 2/26 ...) will be paired. This setting lets you use the faders of the INPUT channel strip to control up to 24 pairs (48 channels).

Hint

The graphic below the buttons will change according to the pair mode you select.

When you switch from horizontal pair mode to vertical pair mode, new numbers will be assigned to the input channels as follows.

Channel 1 no change

Channel 2 Channel 25

Channel 3 Channel 2

Channel 4 Channel 26

Channel 47 Channel 24

Channel 48 no change

(If you again switch back to horizontal pair mode, the channels will return to their previous number.) However, please note that this simply means the input channel that was previously called "channel 2" is now called "channel 25"; the name and parameter settings of that channel have not changed.

In the various screens of the display (except for the TRACKING RECALL screen and the FADER VIEW screen), switching the pair mode will only change the displayed numbers; the arrangement of the input channels will not change.

(4) PAN NOMINAL POSITION

Here you can specify whether a signal will be at nominal level when panned to center, or at nominal level when panned far left or far right. Choose one of the following two settings. You can choose independently for monaural channels and paired channels.

- CENTER

The signal will be at nominal level (+0dB) when panned to the center, and will rise +3dB when panned to far left or far right.

L R

The signal will be at nominal level (+0dB) when panned to far left or far right, and will decrease -3dB when panned to the center.

Hint

The current setting is also shown by the graph below the buttons.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Hint - 1

⑥ STEREOB

Select one of the following two choices to specify how the STEREO B bus will function.

USE AS STEREO BUS

If this button is on, the STEREO B bus will function as a conventional stereo bus; the same signal as the STE-REO A bus will be sent to it.

USEASCENTERBUS

If this button is on, the STEREO B bus will function as the CENTER bus of LCR mode. When you turn this on, the CENTER bus output signal will be added to the L/R channels of the STEREO A bus, allowing LCR playback (three-channel playback). (The monitor signal will also be played back from the three MONITOR OUT connectors L/C/R.

Note

If the USE AS STEREO BUS button is on, LCR mode is disabled.

Choose which of the following two ranges of MIX bus will be used as surround buses.

MIX 1-8 .......MIX bus 1-8

MIX 9-16 . . . MIX bus 9-16

⑧ SURROUND MODE

13 CASCADE IN PORT SELECT

Select one of the following as the port that will receive the audio signals from the cascade-connected device.

Hint

  • If you select a choice other than CASCADE IN, the signal from the slot will be assigned to the cascade input, and the signal from the CASCADE IN connector will be assigned to the corresponding slot input.
  • The signal assigned from the CASCADE IN connector to the slot input can be used as a patch source in the IN PATCH screen.

  • CASCADE IN

Up to 30 channels of audio signals can be received from another PM5D via the rear panel CASCADE IN connector. If PM5D is selected as the cascade source (12), control signals for parameter linkage will also be transmitted and received.

  • SLOT 4

Up to 16 channels of audio signals can be received via input channels 1-16 of an I/O card installed in slot 4 of the rear panel. If you choose this setting, the signals from the CASCADE IN connector (channels 1-16) will be assigned to channels 1-16 of the SLOT IN 4 port instead.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Hint - 1

- SLOT 3/4

Up to 30 channels of audio signals can be received via input channels 1-16 of I/O cards installed in slots 3 and 4.

14 CASCADE TO (Transmission destination when cascade-connected)

As the external device to which audio signals will be transmitted and control signals exchanged over the cascade connection, you can select either PM5D/PM5D+DCU5D (i.e., a different PM5D unit) or "----" (transmission disabled).

15 CASCADE OUT PORT SOURCE SELECT

Select one of the following as the signal source that will be output from the CASCADE OUT connector.

Hint

If you select a setting other than CASCADE OUT, the same signals will be output both to the corresponding slots and to the CASCADE OUT connector.

- CASCADE OUT

The audio signals sent by the cascade function will be output from the CASCADE OUT connector. If PM5D is selected as the transmission destination (14) , control signals for parameter linkage will also be transmitted and received. The type of signals that are output can be selected in the CASCADE screen.

- SLOT 3/4

The same audio signals (up to 32 channels) as are output from output channels 1-16 of slots 3/4 will be output in parallel from the CASCADE OUT connector.

- SLOT 1-4 [CH1-8]

The same audio signals (up to 32 channels) that are output from output channels 1-8 of slots 1-4 will also be output in parallel from the CASCADE OUT connector.

- SLOT 1-4 [CH9-16]

The same audio signals (up to 32 channels) that are output from output channels 9-16 of slots 1-4 will also be output in parallel from the CASCADE OUT connector.

16 CASCADE MODE

Choose one of the following two modes of operation when multiple PM5D units are cascade-connected.

- MASTER

If the Cascade function is enabled, control signals will be sent to an external PM5D.

SLAVE

If the Cascade function is enabled, control signals will be received from an external PM5D.

⑦ BI-DIRECTION (Bi-directional communication)

When multiple PM5D units are connected, this button selects whether they will mix each other's audio signals. Set the Cascade mode and the BI-DIRECTION button according to the type of cascade connection, as discussed below.

If you cascade-connect two PM5D units in a "ring" topology (i.e., connect the CASCADE IN connector of each unit to the OUT connector of the other unit), set the cascade mode to MASTER on one unit and SLAVE on the other unit. Turn the BI-DIRECTION button On for both units.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - ⑦ BI-DIRECTION (Bi-directional communication) - 1

In this state, the SLAVE unit will follow when you operate the MASTER unit. The same mix will be output from both PM5D units.

If you daisy-chain two to four PM5D units (i.e., connect the first unit's CASCADE OUT second unit's CASCADE IN, and the second unit's CASCADE OUT third unit's CASCADE IN. Up to four units can be connected.), set the PM5D located last in the chain to MASTER, and the remaining PM5D units to SLAVE. Turn the BI-DIRECTION button Off for all units.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - ⑦ BI-DIRECTION (Bi-directional communication) - 2
In this state, the SLAVE units will follow when you operate the MASTER unit. The final mix of all signals will be output from the PM5D that is connected last in the chain.

Hint

DCA and MUTE parameter values will be linked the instant Link is turned on. Other parameters will be linked for the first time only when that parameter is operated after Link is turned on.

MUTE MASTER

Mute group 1-8 on/off

Hint

  • For details on the actual procedure of cascade-connecting multiple PM5D/DSP5D units, refer to p.153.
  • In the case of a system that is cascade-connected to the DSP5D, the system will always operate as though the CASCADE LINK area's LINK button is on; this setting cannot be changed. Other operations may also be linked.
  • To enable cascade link, you must turn on linking for the corresponding parameters on the other cascade-connected PM5D units as well.
  • You can also turn linking off for the master PM5D. For example if you've cascade-connected multiple PM5D units, you can (for example) make settings so that DCA 1 is linked only between the master and the second unit, DCA 2 is linked for all PM5D units, and DCA 3 is linked only between the second unit and third unit.

OUT jacks (if CUE INTERRUPTION is on), and PHONE jack. This mode lets you monitor the signal of a specific channel without affecting other buses.

- SOLO mode (SOLO ON/OFF button is on)

When using Input Solo, the familiar "solo" function is enabled; only the signal of the channel whose [CUE] key is pressed will be sent to the MIX, MATRIX, and STEREO A/B buses, and other channels will be muted. When using Output Solo, only that channel will be on. The signal of a channel whose [CUE] key is pressed can also be monitored from the CUE OUT jacks, MONITOR OUT jacks, and PHONES jack.

(2) CUE MODE

This button selects one of the following two possibilities for when the [CUE] key of more than one channel is pressed.

- MIX CUE mode

All channels / DCA groups whose [CUE] key is on will be mixed for monitoring.

Note

As an exception to MIX CUE, turning on a CUE button in the EFFECT PARAM screen or GATE PARAM screen or turning on a CUE button in the DME CONTROL screen (EXTERNAL CUE) will give priority to monitoring only the corresponding signal. (Any [CUE] keys that had been on until then will be forcibly defeated.)

LAST CUE mode

Only the channel / DCA group whose [CUE] key was pressed last will be monitored.

(3) CUE FUNCTION

These buttons let you turn on/off various functions related to Cue. You can select the following functions.

If the CSR knob is set to 0% , turning the PAN knob in the MIX TO STEREO area of the MATRIX/ST ROUTING screen (or the [PAN] encoder in the SELECTED CHANNEL section) will change the signal levels of the L/R channels as shown below.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - ② CSR (Center Side Ratio) - 1

In this case, MIX TO STEREO PAN will operate as a conventional PAN control, and no signal will be sent to the CENTER channel.

If CSR is set to 100% , turning the PAN knob ([PAN] encoder) will change the signal levels of the L/R channels as shown below.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - ② CSR (Center Side Ratio) - 2

When the PAN knob ([PAN] encoder) is in the center position, the signal level of the CENTER channel will be at maximum, and no signal will be sent to the L/R channels.

③ LCR (LCR mode on/off)

For each MIX channel, this turns LCR mode on/off. For channels where LCR mode is turned on, the PAN knob in the MIX TO STEREO area of the MATRIX/ST ROUTING screen can be used to simultaneously control the levels of the L/R channels and the CENTER channel.

If you have selected a MIX channel for which LCR is on, you can also use the [PAN] encoder in the SELECTED CHANNEL section of the top panel. In this case, the peripheral LEDs will change as follows when you operate the [PAN] encoder.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - ③ LCR (LCR mode on/off) - 1
- When LCR = off

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - ③ LCR (LCR mode on/off) - 2
- When LCR = on

Note

In order to use the LCR function, the USE AS CENTER BUS button must be turned On in the MIXER SETUP screen (SYS/W.CLOCK function) ( p.222) . Be aware that when this button is on, the CENTER channel signal is not sent to the STEREO B bus, and will not play back appropriately. (In this case, the STEREO B bus is sent the same signal as the STE-REO A bus.)

④ MIX channel

This is the number and name of the MIX channel you are editing. Paired MIX channels are indicated by a heart symbol displayed at the right. You can click this symbol to enable/disable pairing. The values of parameters ②-③ are linked for paired channels.

Hint

  • The master level of the CENTER channel is controlled by the STEREO B channel fader. You can also use the STE-REO B channel EQ and compressor to process the signal.
  • Use either one of the output jacks patched to the STEREO B channel as the output jack for the CENTER channel. (When the USE AS CENTER BUS button is On in the MIXER SETUP screen, the L/R channels of the STEREO B bus output the same signal.)
  • By selecting LCR as the monitor source, you can monitor the LCR signal from the MONITOR OUT jacks L/C/R.

SURR SETUP screen

Here you can make various settings related to surround functionality, such as selecting the surround mode, and assigning MIX buses to surround channels.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - SURR SETUP screen - 1

① SURROUND MODE

Choose one of the following as the surround mode when using the Surround Pan function (p.142). This is the same as the SURROUND MODE in the MIXER SETUP screen (SYS/W.CLOCK function). The graphic below the buttons will change according to the mode you select.

STEREO

This is conventional stereomode.

3-1ch

This mode uses four channels: L (front left), C (front center), R (front right), and S (surround).

5.1ch

This mode uses six channels: L (front left), C (front center), R (front right), Ls (rear left), Rs (rear right), and LFE (subwoofer).

6.1ch

This mode uses seven channels: 5.1ch with the addition of Bs (rear center).

Hint

If 3-1ch, 5.1ch, or 6.1 ch is selected as the surround mode, MIX buses 1-8 or 9-16 are used as surround buses, starting with the earlier-numbered buses. (Buses not used as surround buses can be used as conventional buses.) These MIX buses cannot be used as conventional bus outputs until you return to stereo mode.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Hint - 1

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Hint - 2

② Bus assignments

When you change the surround channel assignment, the MIX bus whose channel assignment you changed will be exchanged with the MIX bus that had been previously assigned to that channel.

Note

The MIX buses used are fixed for each surround mode. For surround mode 3-1, MIX buses 1-4 or 9-13 can be used. For surround mode 5.1, MIX buses 1-6 or 9-14 can be used. For surround mode 6.1, MIX buses 1-7 or 9-15 can be used. Other MIX buses can be used as conventional MIX buses. However in the case of 6.1, MIX bus 8 or MIX bus 16 are always handled as FIXED buses.

③ INIT (Initialize)

For each surround mode, this restores the surround channel assignments to the MIX buses to their initial state.

Select either MIX buses 1-8 or 9-16 as the range of MIX buses used as surround buses.

⑤ PRE EQ/PRE FADER

These buttons let you specify in greater detail the location from which the pre-fader signal will be sent from an input channel to the MIX buses. You can choose one of the following two send locations.

PRE FADERImmediately before the fader
PRE EQImmediately before the EQ

Hint

This setting applies to the signal sent from the corresponding input channel to all MIX buses.

(6) FOLLOW PAN

These buttons specify how the TO ST PAN knob (⑧) will affect the signal sent from the input channel to MIX buses.

VARI

If this button is on, the PAN knob displayed in the CH to MIX area (④) will be linked with the TO ST PAN knob (⑧) if VARI-type MIX buses are paired.

FIXED

If this button is on, the signal from after the TO ST PAN (⑧) knob will be sent to FIXED-type MIX buses.

⑦ TO ST (To stereo)

This button specifies whether the input channel / ST IN channel will send its signal to the STEREO bus. This is linked with the [TO STEREO] switch in the SELECTED CHANNEL section.

⑧ TO ST PAN (To stereo pan)

Here you can adjust the panning of the signal sent from the input channel / ST IN channel to the STEREO bus. (The current value is shown in the boxes immediately below.) This is linked with the encoder if PAN is selected as the encoder mode, and with the [PAN] encoder of the SELECTED CHANNEL section.

PAN MODE

Here you can select one of the following ways in which pan settings will be linked between adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered input channels (or the left/right channels of a ST IN channel).

- INDIVIDUAL

The two pan settings will be independent.

GANG PAN

The two pan settings will be linked in the same direction. If the two pan values are different when you turn on this button, pan will be linked while preserving the existing difference in values.

- INV. GANG (Inverted gang)

The two pan settings will operate in opposite directions.

BALANCE

The two PAN knobs will function as BALANCE knobs that adjust the balance of the signal sent from the odd-numbered/even-numbered channels (or the L/R channels of the ST IN channel) to the STEREO bus L/R. If you choose this setting, the two knobs will be reset to the center position, and will be linked in the same direction. Also, the knob markings will change from red to white.

Note

  • Pan mode is always valid, even if the send-source input channels are not paired.
  • You will be unable to operate the TO ST PAN knobs if you select GANG PAN mode when the two pan knobs are set to far left and right, or if you select INV.GANG when both pan knobs are turned all the way in the same direction.

10 MIX MINUS

This function sends the same mix as the STEREO bus — but with a specific input channel removed — to the desired MIX bus. If you need to send a monitor mix to a performer or announcer, this is a quick way to give them the same mix as the STEREO bus but without their own voice.

Access the desired source input channel in the screen, and click the MIX MINUS button for that channel; a window will appear, allowing you to select the MIX bus for which to make Mix Minus settings.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - MIX MINUS - 1

Hint

As a shortcut to access the above window, you can simultaneously press the [SEL] key of the INPUT/ST IN channel strip and the [SEL] key of the MIX section. However, be aware that holding down either one of these keys by itself will access a different shortcut.

In the above window, select the send-destination MIX bus and click the OK button; the following parameters will change in the CH to MIX screen.

  • In the CH to MIX area of the send-destination MIX bus, all ON/OFF buttons will turn on.
  • In the CH to MIX area of the send-destination MIX bus, all PRE/POST buttons will be set to POST.
  • The send level of signals sent from the source input channel to the destination MIX bus will be lowered to - dB.
  • The send level of signals sent from all input channels other than the above to the destination MIX bus will be set to nominal level (0.0 dB).

  • The POST ON/POST TO ST button will be set to POST TO ST for the destination MIX bus.

Note

  • Mix Minus does not switch a "mode"; rather, it is a quick way to make certain settings. This means that even after executing Mix Minus, you can freely edit the parameters of the CH to MIX screen.
  • When you execute the Mix Minus operation, only the input channel you selected as the source will be removed from the mix. If you want to remove more than one input channel from the signal sent to a specific MIX bus, execute the Mix Minus operation and then manually change the settings of other channels.
  • If the input channel is paired (or if a ST IN channel is selected), the send level of the signal sent from both channels to the target MIX bus will be set to - .
  • The Mix Minus operation is valid even if the destination MIX bus is paired. In this case, the PAN setting of the input channel will be reflected by the PAN settings of the paired MIX buses.

If an output is turned off so that the signal does not flow any further, the subsequent flow is displayed in gray. If PEAK HOLD is on, the flow indication will stay red if clipping occurs even once, making it easier to see that clipping has occurred.

FADER VIEW screen

This screen shows the on/off status, level, and cue monitor status of the input channels and DCA groups.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - FADER VIEW screen - 1

Except for the fact that this screen is for input channels, DCA groups, and STEREO A/B channels, this is the same as the OUTPUT VIEW function FADER VIEW screen. Refer to p.273.

CH JOB screen

In this screen you can copy the desired parameter(s) from the selected input channel into a memory buffer, and paste or move them to the same type of channel (you may select more than one paste-destination).

① JOB SELECT

Here you can select either Copy or Move as the operation.

COPY

The copy-source channel will remain; its parameters will be copied to another channel.

- MOVE

The parameters will be moved to another channel.

Note

When you execute the channel move operation, the channels between the selected channel and the move-destination channel will also move forward or backward.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 1

(2) CAPTURE

When you click this button, the settings of the currently selected channel will be copied to a temporary memory buffer. If you selected the MOVE operation, this will be grayed, and copying will not be possible.

If the corresponding INPUT channel is paired (or if a ST IN/FX RTN channel is selected), a heart symbol is shown at the right.

③ BUFFERED CH (Channel in the buffer)

This shows the channel that is currently copied into buffer memory. If you selected the MOVE operation, this will be grayed.

Note

  • The same buffer memory is used to copy channel settings for both input channels and output channels.
  • If output channel settings have been copied to the buffer memory, a message of "TYPE CONFLICT!" is displayed below, and you cannot paste to an input channel.
  • The contents of the buffer memory are erased when the PM5D is powered-off.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - Note - 1

(4) EXECUTE

When you click this button, the specified parameters will be copied from buffer memory to the specified paste-destination channel. If you click this button when performing a MOVE operation, the parameters of the selected channel will be moved to the specified move-destination channel.

If an output channel is copied to buffer memory, or if no paste-destination has been specified, this is grayed-out and the Paste operation is unavailable.

Note

  • A single channel can be moved only if the following two conditions are satisfied.
  • There are no paired channels between the move-source and move-destination.
  • You have not selected a parameter of which only one exists for every two adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered channels, such as DELAY GANG.

  • Channels can be moved only within the following channel sections (on each machine)

INPUT channels 1-48

  • STIN channels 1-4
  • FX RTN channels1-4

(5) PARAMETER SELECT

Here you can select the parameter(s) that will be pasted. You can't select this for the MOVE operation. You can select the following parameters.

ALLAll parameters
ATTAttenuator settings
EQEQ function settings
COMPCOMP function settings
DELAYDELAY function settings
FADERFader level
ONCH [ON] key on/off status
PAN/BALPan/balance settings
INSERTInsert on/off status and insert point
SENDSend level to the desired MIX bus(es)
DCAAssociated DCA group
MUTEAssociated mute group
LCRLCR screen settings
HAHA library settings
PATCHInput patch settings
NAMEChannel name

If the SEND button is on, use the MIX buttons (1-24) to select the target MIX bus.

⑥ CH SELECT (Channel selection)

Here you can select the paste/move-destination channel(s). You can only select channels of the same type as the copy/move-source.

Hint

If the copy/move-source INPUT channel is paired, the odd-numbered channel is copied to the odd-numbered channel(s), and the even-numbered channel is copied to the even-numbered channel(s).

⑦ SET ALL

Specifies the paste-destination as all channels of the same type as the copy-source. You can't select this for the MOVE operation.

(8) CLEAR ALL

De-selects all channels. You can't select this for the MOVE operation.

INPUT CH LIBRARY (Input channel library) screen

Here you can recall, store, rename, or delete items in the input channel library.

Each channel has a GATE section (input channels and ST IN channels only) and a COMP section. The Gate section includes Gate and Ducking types. The Comp section includes Compressor, Expander, Compander Hard (COMP. (H)), and Compander Soft (COMP. (S)) types.

GATE section

GATE

A gate attenuates signals below a set THRESHOLD level by a specified amount (RANGE).

ParameterRangeDescription
THRESHOLD (dB)-72 to 0 (73 points)This determines the level at which the gate effect is applied.
RANGE (dB)-∞, -69 to 0 (71 points)This determines the amount of attenuation when the gate closes.
ATTACK (ms)0–120 (121 points)This determines how fast the gate opens when the signal exceeds the threshold level.
HOLD (ms)44.1kHz: 0.02 ms – 2.13 sec48kHz: 0.02 ms – 1.96 sec88.2kHz: 0.01 ms – 1.06 sec96kHz: 0.01 ms – 981 ms (160 points)This determines how long the gate stays open once the trigger signal has fallen below the threshold.
DECAY (ms)44.1kHz: 6 ms – 46.0 sec48kHz: 5 ms – 42.3 sec88.2kHz: 3 ms – 23.0 sec96kHz: 3 ms – 21.1 sec (160 points)This determines how fast the gate closes once the hold time has expired. The value is expressed as the duration required for the level to change by 6 dB.

DUCKING

Ducking is commonly used for voice-over applications in which the background music level is reduced automatically when an annunciers speaks. When the KEY IN source signal level exceeds the specified THRESHOLD, the output level is attenuated by a specified amount (RANGE).

ParameterRangeDescription
THRESHOLD (dB)-54 to 0 (55 points)This determines the level of trigger signal (KEY IN) required to activate ducking.
RANGE (dB)-70 to 0 (71 points)This determines the amount of attenuation when ducking is activated.
ATTACK (ms)0–120 (121 points)This determines how soon the signal is ducked once the ducker has been triggered.
HOLD (ms)44.1kHz: 0.02 ms – 2.13 sec48kHz: 0.02 ms – 1.96 sec88.2kHz: 0.01 ms – 1.06 sec96kHz: 0.01 ms – 981 ms (160 points)This determines how long ducking remains active once the trigger signal has fallen below the THRESHOLD level.
DECAY (ms)44.1kHz: 6 ms – 46.0 sec48kHz: 5 ms – 42.3 sec88.2kHz: 3 ms – 23.0 sec96kHz: 3 ms – 21.1 sec (160 points)This determines how soon the ducker returns to its normal gain once the trigger signal level drops below the threshold. The value is expressed as the duration required for the level to change by 6 dB.

COMP section

Compressor (COMP)

The COMP processor attenuates signals above a specified THRESHOLD by a specified RATIO. The COMP processor can also be used as a limiter, which, with a RATIO of :1 , reduces the level to the threshold. This means that the limiter's output level never actually exceeds the threshold.

ParameterRangeDescription
THRESHOLD (dB)-54 to 0 (55 points)This determines the level of input signal required to trigger the compressor.
RATIO1.0:1, 1.1:1, 1.3:1, 1.5:1, 1.7:1, 2.0:1, 2.5:1, 3.0:1, 3.5:1, 4.0:1, 5.0:1, 6.0:1, 8.0:1, 10:1, 20:1, ∞:1 (16 points)This determines the amount of compression, that is, the change in output signal level relative to change in input signal level.
ATTACK (ms)0–120 (121 points)This determines how soon the signal will be compressed once the compressor has been triggered.
RELEASE (ms)44.1kHz: 6 ms – 46.0 sec48kHz: 5 ms – 42.3 sec88.2kHz: 3 ms – 23.0 sec96kHz: 3 ms – 21.1 sec (160 points)This determines how soon the compressor returns to its normal gain once the trigger signal level drops below the threshold. The value is expressed as the duration required for the level to change by 6 dB.
OUT GAIN (dB)0.0 to +18.0 (181 points)This sets the compressor's output signal level.
KNEEHard, 1–5 (6 points)This determines how compression is applied at the threshold. For higher knee settings, compression is applied gradually as the signal exceeds the specified threshold, creating a more natural sound.

Time Series Analysis (RATIO=∞:1)

COMPANDER HARD (COMP.(H))

COMPANDER SOFT (COMP.(S))

The hard and soft companders combine the effects of the compressor, expander and limiter.

YAMAHA PM5D-RH - COMPANDER SOFT (COMP.(S)) - 1

The companders function differently at the following levels:

① 0 dB and higher . Functions as a limiter.
(2) Exceeding the threshold Functions as a compressor.
③ Below the threshold and width .... Functions as an expander.

The hard compander has an expansion ratio of 5:1, while the soft compander has an expansion ratio of 1.5:1. The expander is essentially turned off when the width is set to maximum. The compressor has a fixed knee setting of 2.

  • The gain is automatically adjusted according to the ratio and threshold values, and can be increased by up to 18 dB.
  • The OUT GAIN parameter enables you to compensate for the overall level change caused by the compression and expansion processes.

TYPECLEAN, DRIVESelects the equalizer type. The CLEAN equalizer provides non-distorted, clear, typical digital sound, emulating variations in frequency response in the analog circuits. The DRIVE equalizer provides distorted, driven sound that enhances analog flavor, emulating changes in frequency response in the analog circuits.

OPENDECK

It emulates the tape compression created by two open reel tape recorders (a recording deck and a playback deck.) You can change the sound quality by adjusting various elements, such as the deck type, tape quality, playback speed, etc.

ParameterRangeDescription
REC DECSwss70, Swss78, Swss85, Amer70Selects the recording deck type
REC LVL-96.0 to +18.0 dBAdjusts the input level of the recording deck. As you raise the level, tape compression is generated, which narrows the dynamic range and distorts the sound
REC HI-6.0 to +6.0 dBAdjusts the high range gain of the recording deck
REC BIAS-1.00 to +1.00Adjusts the bias of the recording deck
REPR DECSwss70, Swss78, Swss85, Amer70Selects the playback deck type
REPR LVL-96.0 to +18.0 dBAdjusts the output level of the playback deck
REPR HI-6.0 to +6.0 dBAdjusts the high range gain of the playback deck
REPR LO-6.0 to +6.0 dBAdjusts the low range gain of the playback deck
MAKE UPOff, OnWhen you adjust the REC LVL, the REPR LVL reflects the change, maintaining the relative output level. You can change the amount of distortion without changing the output level.
TP SPEED15ips, 30ipsSelects the tape speed
TP KINDOld, NewSelects the tape type

DE-ESSER

This detects and compresses only the high-frequency consonantal components (e.g., sibilants) of a vocal sound. Two monaural channels can be controlled independently.

ParameterRangeDescription
THRE. 1-54.0 to 0.0 dB(541 points)Threshold level above which the CH1 de-esser effect will apply.
FREQ. 11.00 kHz to 12.5 kHz(45 points)Cutoff frequency of the HPF used to detect the high frequen-cies for CH1.
THRE. 2-54.0 to 0.0 dB(541 points)Threshold level above which the CH2 de-esser effect will apply.
FREQ. 21.00 kHz to 12.5 kHz(45 points)Cutoff frequency of the HPF used to detect the high frequen-cies for CH2.

Effects and tempo synchronization

Some of the PM5D's effects allow you to synchronize the effect with the tempo. There are two such types of effect; delay-type effects and modulation-type effects. For delay-type effects, the delay time will change according to the tempo. For modulation-type effects, the frequency of the modulation signal will change according to the tempo.

The following five parameters are related to tempo synchronization.

SYNC: This is the on/off switch for tempo synchronization.

NOTE and TEMPO: .... These are the basic parameters for tempo synchronization.

DELAY and FREQ: DELAY is the delay time, and FREQ. is the frequency of the modulation signal. These directly affect the way in which the effect sound will change. DELAY is relevant only for delay-type effects, and FREQ. is relevant only for modulation-type effects.

Tempo synchronization calculates the DELAY (or FREQ.) value*a from the TEMPO and NOTE.

If you turn SYNC on

If you edit NOTE DELAY (or FREQ.) will be set

In this case, the DELAY (or FREQ.) value is calculated as follows.

DELAY (or FREQ.) = NOTE x 4 x (60/TEMPO)

If you edit TEMPO DELAY (or FREQ.) will be set

In this case, the DELAY (or FREQ.) value is calculated as follows.

DELAY = NOTE x 4 x (60 / TEMPO) sec

FREQ. = (TEMPO / 60) / (NOTE x 4) Hz

Example 1: When SYNC=ON, DELAY=250 ms, TEMPO=120, you change NOTE from 8th note to quarter note

$$ \begin{array}{l} D E L A Y = \text {n e w N O T E} x 4 x (6 0 / T E M P O) \ = (1 / 4) \times 4 \times (6 0 / 1 2 0) \ = 0. 5 (\sec) \ = 5 0 0 \mathrm {m s} \ \end{array} $$

Thus, the DELAY will change from 250~ms to 500~ms .

Example 2: When SYNC=ON, DELAY=250 ms, NOTE=8th note, you change TEMPO from 120 to 121

$$ \begin{array}{l} D E L A Y = N O T E x 4 x (6 0 / n e w T E M P O) \ = (1 / 8) x 4 x (6 0 / 1 2 1) \ = 0. 2 4 7 9 (\sec) \ = 2 4 7. 9 (\mathrm {m s}) \ \end{array} $$

Thus, the TEMPO will change from 250~ms to 247.9~ms .

*a Rounded values are used for the calculation results.

- Special characteristics of the TEMPO parameter

The TEMPO parameter has the following characteristics that are unlike other parameters.

  • It is a common value shared by all effects

  • You cannot store it to or recall it from the Effects Library. (You can store it to and recall it from a Scene.)

This means that the TEMPO value may not necessarily be the same when an effect is recalled as when that effect was stored. Here is an example.

Store the effect: TEMPO = 120 Change TEMPO to 60 Recall the effect: TEMPO = 60

Normally when you change the TEMPO, the DELAY (or FREQ.) will be re-set accordingly. However if the DELAY (or FREQ.) were changed, the effect would sound differently when recalled than when it was stored. To prevent the effect from changing in this way between store and recall, the PM5D does not update the DELAY (or FREQ.) value when an effect is recalled, even if the TEMPO is no longer the same as when that effect was stored.

  • The NOTE parameter is calculated based on the following values.

$$ \text {f} = 3 / 3 2 $$

$$ \lambda = 1 / 8 $$

$$ \text {J J} = 1 / 6 $$

$$ \mathrm {J} _ {\mathrm {i}} = 3 / 1 6 $$

$$ \downarrow = 1 / 4 $$

$$ \downarrow = 3 / 8 $$

$$ \downarrow = 1 / 2 $$

$$ d = 3 / 4 $$

$$ = 1 / 1 $$

$$ \infty = 2 / 1 $$

MIDI Data Format

This section explains the format of the data that the PM5D is able to understand, send, and receive.

In addition to the messages described here, you can use the MIDI REMOTE function or the MIDI EVENT settings of the SCENE function to transmit any type of command.

1 CHANNELMESSAGE

1.1 NOTE OFF (8n)

Reception

These messages are echoed to MIDI OUT if [OTHER ECHO] is ON. They are received if [Rx CH] matches, and used to control effects.

STATUS 1000nnnn 8n Note off message

DATA 0nnnnnnn nn Note number

0vyyyyvv vv Velocity(ignored)

1.2 NOTE ON (9n)

Reception

These messages are echoed to MIDI OUT if [OTHER ECHO] is ON. They are received if [Rx CH] matches, and used to control effects.

STATUS 1001nnnn 9n Note on message

DATA 0nnnnnnn nn Note number

0vvvvvvv vv Velocity (1-127:on, 0:off)

1.3 CONTROL CHANGE (Bn)

Two types of control change can be transmitted and received; [NRPN] (Non-Registered Parameter Numbers) and freely-assigned [TABLE] (16CH x 110) messages. Select either [TABLE] or [NRPN].

Reception

These messages are echoed to MIDI OUT if [Control Change ECHO] is ON. If [TABLE MULTI] is selected, these messages are received when [Control Change Rx] is ON, and will control parameters according to the settings of the [Control assign table]. If [TABLE SINGLE] is selected, these messages are received when [Control Change Rx] is ON and [Rx CH] matches, and will control parameters according to the settings of the [Control assign table]. For the parameters that can be assigned, refer to p.341. If [NRPN] is selected, these messages are received when [Control Change Rx] is ON and the [Rx CH] matches; the four messages NRPN control number (62h, 63h) and DATA ENTRY control number (06h, 26h) are used to control the specified parameter.

Transmission

If [TABLE MULTI] is selected, and if [Control Change Tx] is ON when you operate a parameter that is assigned in the [Control assign table], these messages will be transmitted. If [TABLE SINGLE] is selected, and if [Control Change Tx] is ON when you operate a parameter that is assigned in the [Control assign table], these messages are transmitted on the [Tx CH] channel. For the parameters that can be assigned, refer to p.341.

If [NRPN] is selected, and if [Control Change Tx] is ON when you operate a specified parameter, the four messages NRPN control number (62h, 63h) and DATA ENTRY control number (06h, 26h) are transmitted on the [Tx CH] channel.

Control Change messages are not used for transmission to PM5D Editor because there is no guarantee that the contents of the assignment tables will match. (Parameter Change messages are always used.)

Control Change numbers 0 and 32 are for selecting banks.

STATUS 1011nnnn Bn Control change

DATA 00 Control number (00)

If [TABLE] is selected

STATUS 1011nnnn Bn Control change

DATA 0nnnnnnn nn Control number (1-31,33-95,102-119) *

  • Numbers 0, 32, and 96-101 cannot be used.

Equation for converting a Control Value to parameter data

paramSteps = paramMax - paramMin + 1;

add = paramWidth/paramSteps;

mod = paramWidth - add * paramSteps;

curValue = pharm * add ^+ mod / 2;

(1) If the assigned parameter has fewer than 128 steps paramWidth = 128; rxValue = Control value;
(2) If the assigned parameter has 128 or more but less than 16,384 steps

paramWidth = 16384

(2-1) When High and Low data is received
rxValue = Control value(High) * 128 + Control value(Low);
(2-2) When Low data is received
rxValue = (curValue & 16256) + Control value(Low);
(2-3) When High data is received
rxValue = Control value(High) * 128 + (curValue & 127);

(3) If the assigned parameter has 16,384 or more but less than 2,097,152 steps

paramWidth = 2097152

(3-1) When High, Middle, and Low data is received
rxValue = Control value(High) * 16384 + Control value(Middle) * 128 + Control value(Low);

(3-2) When only Low data is received

rxValue = (curValue & 2097024) + Control value(Low);

(3-3) When only Middle data is received

rxValue = (curValue & 2080895) + Control value(Middle) * 128;

(3-4) When only High data is received

rxValue = (curValue & 16383) + Control value(High) * 16384;

(3-5) When only Middle and Low data is received

rxValue = (curValue & 2080768) + Control value(Middle) * 128 + Control value(Low);

(3-6) When only High and Low data is received

rxValue = (curValue & 16256) + Control value(High) * 16384 + Control value(Low);

(3-7) When only High and Middle data is received

rxValue = (curValue & 127) + Control value(High) * 16384 + Control value(Middle)

  • 128;

if (rxValue > paramWidth)

rxValue = paramWidth,

param = (rxValue - mod / 2) / add;

If [NRPN] is selected

  • The STATUS byte of the second and subsequent messages need not be added during transmission. Reception must occur correctly whether or not the status byte is omitted.

1.4 PROGRAM CHANGE (Cn)

Reception

If [Program Change ECHO] is ON, bank select messages will also be echoed from MIDI OUT.

If SINGLE CH is selected, these messages are received if [Program Change RX] is ON and the [Rx CH] matches. However if [OMNI] is ON, these messages are received regardless of the channel. When these messages are received, scene memories are recalled according to the settings of the [Program Change Table].

Transmission

If [Program Change] is ON, these messages are transmitted according to the [Program Change Table] settings when a scene memory is recalled.

If SINGLE CH is selected, these messages are transmitted on the [Tx CH] channel.

If the recalled scene has been assigned to more than one program number, the lowest-numbered program number for each MIDI channel will be transmitted. Program Change messages are not used for transmission to PM5D Editor because there is no guarantee that the contents of the assignment tables will match. (Parameter Change messages are always used.)

You can choose either MULTI MIDI CH or SINGLE CH.

If SINGLE is selected

You can choose the RX CH, OMNI CH, and TX CH.

You can choose whether a bank select message will be added.

A bank of up to 16 can be specified.

If MULTI is selected

The RX and TX channels will be the same.

The assignment table will use the settings for each MIDI channel. Bank select messages will not be added.

You can make settings for up to sixteen MIDI channels.

To calculate the check sum, add the bytes starting with the byte after BYTE

COUNT (LOW) and ending with the byte before CHECK SUM, take the binary complement, and set bit 7 to 0.

CHECK SUM = (-sum)&0x7F

Bulk Dumps can be received at any time, and can be transmitted at any time when a Bulk Dump Request is received.

A Bulk Dump is transmitted on the [Rx CH] channel in response to a Bulk Dump Request.

In the data portion, seven words of 8-bit data are converted into eight words of 7-bit data.
